I'm not dropping out, anything but. My mom would fuckin kill me if I dropped out. Basically I work at my own pace on studying for the GED. Basically this GED is the only thing I got to graduate early. I'm supposed to graduate this year, but I'm not unless unless I go for the GED. My freind got his GED last year in the same program and he's in college on the east coast right now. Well actually he's in Panama City for spring break...lucky bastard...

[quote="Airborne Butters":36084]MY first day of freshman year, we were all gathered in the auditorium. Our princpal gets up on the stage and begins his speech by: "Look to you left and right. Odds are that person will either be a failuare or will accomplsih very little in there life..."

I guess its all your perspective. We got the same speech and my only thought was for the poor SOBs next to me. Its not a doom and gloom speech, its life. I applaud them for giving you guys a little reality instead of pumping sunshine up your ass.

Now if you know you are not cut out for college, then you are on the right track by considering a vo-tech. Get your self a trade. Specialize. Thats how you make more money. Even the guys going to college, the more specialized your degree is, the more you will make.

a GED = High School Diploma. You can goto college as long as you have one or the other. The problem is you will only be able to goto a community college, most private colleges won't accept a GED.
