Why Do I Discontinue Education During High School?

Decent Essays
These days education is very important, if you discontinue your education during high school it’s highly doubtful you’ll ever find a job that you’d enjoy. I am ready to get out of highschool so I can go to a community college to then transfer to a university in order to have a career that I wouldn’t mind waking up to everyday while getting paid far more than the minimum wage. I am thinking about skipping high school to attend a community college to fast track things if it is possible. I could be homeschooled so I would have more time.

Or maybe you think trade school is a better option for you and doesn't give as much debt as a four year university.
