drop outs

N🌻 • Thu, Apr 27

So I haven't been on here in months. Since then I've dropped out of my final year in high school, completed my property management course and am on my way into work experinace. I've really happy with my life. I do have a part time job I got before leaving school, it's not the best and I get incredibly underpaid since it's a cash in hand and illegal. So yeah. But like I said I'm a lot happier now than I was and I think that's better than being unhappy.

So to the point, do you believe dropping out of school is fine as long as you have a plan and that it will make you happy?

I'll just make some edits since I maybe? Didn't make myself clear. I did further my education outside of school, I got myself educated in a job and do have work experience lined up which will turn into paid work.

I'm from Australia. There is not ged here.

To go into uni won't be hard if I chose to do so, which isn't necessary.

I wasn't failing school, I was actually making okay grades. I just hated going somewhere and learning pointless shit and wasting my life.

My part time job is one or two shifts a week for three hours each at $12 an hour. Which in Australia for my age, is underpaying me.

I also waited until I turned into a legal adult to make these choices. Which in Australia is 18 years.
