Steve Jobs dropped out of school.
A higher education is not necessary. Just because someone doesn't receive a higher education doesn't mean they will be working at McDonald's all their life. I've chosen that it's not for me and nobody can change my mind.
It is a fact that, it is those with comfortable living situations and countless options, that are the ones who take for granted just how lucky they are.
People who TRULY believe that school is not for them generally fall into three categories:
First: Those who live in an environment where the environment produces a situation where it is genuinely difficult to see the benefits and or necessity of a good education. For example, the ghetto, gang infested areas where pure pressure, lack of money, poverty, etc... prevent those from trying to learn.
Second: Idiots, lazy people, people who get free rides, people with parents that spoil them to the point where they are never held accountable for anything other than "saving face" or protecting the "family name."
Third: Those who are truly above the learning curve that standard education has to offer, and work more diligently and or efficiently on their own terms, preparing themselves to offer something great to society.
Based off of your past posts up till now, I hope you will forgive me for crossing off the first and third category when it comes to your situation.
Go watch the movie "
Waiting for Superman" See how badly those kids want the chance at a decent education, then come back and spit out crap like, "education is not for me".
