high school sophmore now but then i realized
Why try finishing high school, my uncle who never finished high school and was a thug his whole life now works at a barber shop and makes about 1800 a week, I could really follow his foot steps and join his family business, and probably start making that much since they're always full I could be taught everything.

High school has never tought me how to pay bills, how to apply for college, how to buy a car, or how to make it in fucking life....but thank god know how to graph a linear equation !

You know how much weed, ciggarerets, cloth and beer you can buy with 1800 mother fuckin dollars a week e_e

Say "No" to drugs and stay in school.

Yo, if you feel completely capable of living the way you want to in life without school, go ahead.

imo you should still consider another learning outlet, yknow?

Learn what you want to learn and what YOU feel will be useful.

Just go out there and be the best YOU you can be! (Even if you're selling meth)

stay in school trust me 1800 a week isn't really much.
hell i make alot more at the end of the month and i throw
money into retirement and social in the end ill be getting off good.
that means more video game money poker money and
booby money.

Finish school. It'll be worth it in the end trust me. If your family business doesn't work out you'll never find a decent job without a diploma. Trust me, I was shot down for every job until I went back for my diploma.

Nah, there's just a shit ton of expenses that go into owning your own business. Making $1800/week isn't all profit, like a paycheck.

Bullshit

My cousin owns a hs diploma and every place he tries to apply never calls him cuz he need experience from a job in the past, how r u supposed to even start ?

Most stores that he applys to always tell him "buh durr ohh apply thuhh online" but all the online applications always get ignored
#12
I didnt graduate high school and looked for a job everywhere. I went back and got my diploma and got a job a month later with no experience. And I'll mention I applied online as that was the only way to apply for my current job.

With a Bachelor's.

And if you can't get a job with a diploma/GED, you sure as hell can't without.

Fast food and retail would.

1800 a week now lets break that down.
power water and insurance.
then you have your employees.
and whats left over you put back into the business.
then whats left over isn't much.

getting jobs with no experience car washes, fast food, even waiter and dishwashers.
real world fact that isn't going to get you anywhere but its best to do the peon work
then have some experience and references from previous bosses as well.
#17
1800 a week is totally nothing. I personally won't be satisfied till it's like 5k a week. xD
Well, the more the better right?

Aim for a $40k/year job, and you'll be happy.

Wow, there should totally be like a website where you enter a dollar amount and it tells you how much drugs you can buy with it.
#22
Or you could have a totally awesome friend (*coughcough* like me) who can tell you.
#23
Who needs friends when there are websites?
#24
Good point.
Internet is way better than human interaction.
