If You Would Drop Out of School Right Now...

[Azunite]

...what would you do? I'm not talking about "being a couch potato and playing computer games all day" but actually trying to be useful, for example helping people by their jobs, or have a job yourself...

Personally, I'd take a French course to make my French better. That way I would know 4 languages. I would go to a Russian course to learn basic Russian, couldn't be that hard, I can read and write in Cyrillic after all.

I would maybe publish my work, put all my 25 poems and make a poetry book and sell it, or gather all my short-stories and publish them. It wouldn't make much money, but it's still money after all. I already work as a surf instructor and a "General Purpose Worker" ( I clean and cook, etc ) at a surf school in summer.

I would help people with translations, help them with paperwork etc.

It actually sounds tempting than learning stupid functions in Mathemathics which will never ever aid me in my life.

I would get a job, but I would start out slowly. I will still stay home, and maybe I'll help my little brother with his schoolwork

[kenoloor]

I would travel around the world, moving to a new place every month; I might get a job as a photographer for a magazine or some sort of publication. Maybe something else...I really don't know.

[Smeagol]

I would write stories to publish, play music for a band (I'm wicked good at clarinet) and I guess theres not much else I could do because I'm only 14.

Travel the world with graffiti cans or just normal paint so I could create an art revolution everywhere.
Obviously this art would be based on several social and political statements and would be located on the sides of government buildings, I would also get finner for all the running away from cops that I would have to do.

^You would drop out of school... to go back to school?

This post confuses me. If I were to drop out of school right now I would have to settle for Burger King, even though I have already graduated. If you drop out of school there is very little opportunity for you out here in the real world!

Many replies show that you would try and do "big" things, not to burst your bubble, but those are REALLY slim without a good education, unless your parents are wicked rich. Many of those things require a degree. At least graduate high school first, or make sure you get a GED!

A course which is outside the school, where I would attend to only few hours a day.

Ah ok, I really still don't think it is a good idea to drop out of school. It really does pave a good solid road, and you have better chances of getting a job at least graduating high school than you do if you drop out. My work place recently fired everyone who did not graduate high school, aside from two people, one had their GED and the other seemed like they were meant to do their job.

[LatinaVivit]

No way! I just can't think of not going to college and having that "All American" feeling

[Mortal Coil]

I would become a tutor for younger kids to help with basic English, Chinese, German and Math.

[Thunduhbuhlt]

I would probably try to do anything dangerous I could. Skydiving, skiing, ect...

[Love.Hate]

If I were to drop out if college right now I'd do a part time sign language course and get a part time job working in a special needs school. I'd also probably be babysitting my brother a lot :P

[FullyAlive]

Dropping out of school is something I'd never willingly do but if I had to I guess I'd get an apprenticeship or a job work my way up to something I want to do.

The title is: "If you would drop out of school right now...". So it means "Because of several reasons you just dropped out of school" and those three periods indicate that you have to type what you would do.

Well, I would probably do the same about the language classes...
I would take French (continuing from my French classes in high school, so I would take an intermediate course) and German classes..
Then I would hopefully get a job somewhere

I would like to move to Belgium or Switzerland and open up some kind of business there (though this probably wouldn't happen but hey this is IF I were to drop out of high school so I can dream a little heh heh)

[CrazyFish]

I wouldn't to be honest, I can legally leave in a few months but am going to stay on for 2 more years so I can get qualified because there aren't many jobs out there and it'll be easier to get a good job if I have more qualifications and am older.

[aanderso_n]

I would apprentice making clothes and then hopefully move up the ladder from there :)
