this is an interesting thread, a lot of dropouts here.
i dropped out before senior year, found a great paying 9 to 5 job at 18. No GED.
most companies arent too worried about your education background, they just want to know if you can multitask in distracting environments and are good with people then you can pretty much get any job if you really make the effort.
just because you dont have the patience to learn in a regular classroom setting does not make you lazy or dumb. One reason why I couldnt stand high school and college is because its all the same boring structure. Sit down in a large class for an hour, listen to a guy yap about whatever while taking notes on what you think is important. Assignments every day, test in two weeks. Large assignment end of quarter, and repeat for four years. It doesnt help that most college lectures are on powerpoint, the class is dark and that makes it easier to fall asleep.
if i really want to learn about something i go to the library and check out a book on it.
but yeah the GED test is easy. math part might get a little annoying though.
