16 year old drops out of school to play guitar hero

Wow.

I wonder if his next most commonly used phrase will be, "Would you like the strategy guide with that?"

I'm not condoning dropping out of school or anything, but...dropping out of school to play a real guitar sounds possible, but dropping out of school to play video games? I wish the best of luck to the kid, but I doubt he'll succeed.

As for drop outs. I don't think about them. Only time I think about them is when one passes a resume through my desk and it quickly goes in the fail at life column.

On a related note. I WISH that real life was as easy as high school was. Man, no bills to pay. Only thing I had to worry about was grades. If you can not do that, then you can not do 8 hours of work with only 2 measly weeks of vacation/year. That is a failure in life waiting to happen as it only gets harder once high school finishes. =)

Meh, I dropped out halfway through my junior year... had no place to live/feeding myself/etc.

Finding a job that pays over $8/hr isn't easy let alone one that will give you enough hours at the right times. When you make that much you really need to take advantage of whatever they will give you. I think the week leading up to christmas one year I put down 74 hours. I usually averaged between 35 and 55 hours. At one point I worked 2 jobs doing about ~90hrs a week, that only lasted 5 weeks though.

I took on "real life" as you call it and high school at the same time for ~6 months. Only reason why I stopped was because I physically could not do it anymore.

By the way, "real life" is very differen't when you are a minor. You have no credit cards or loans. I couldn't even have my car in my name. Which also meant no insurance for me. I had to have a cell phone on my brothers girlfriends plan. My boss was kind enough to sign a lease on an apt. for me. I was lucky to have electricity and a checking account. No internet, so I got a time limited 1hr a day use of the library internet. I ended up paying people for their library #s so that I could do my american politics & global issues homework. That still left out chemistry and english.

So please when you make generalizations on peoples outcomes, take a moment to think about the fact that there could be valid reasons to them. Im sure after Katrina there was/is a tremendous amount of drop outs resulting.
