It's even worse for college. You'll never use anything you learn there.madmatt2024 said:Congrats!
Finishing was one of the best feelings I ever had. Now you can go through life and realize you will never use half of the stuff you learned.
apparently it did you no good because school lasts for 13 years!sedanman said:Finally. Class of 09. Graduated. Done. twleve years for a piece of paper and handshakes.
x2 darn young whippersnappers!Dave94LX said:congrats youngin!
I would. Even with a HS diploma there is crap out there for jobs unless you want to be a mindless labourer the rest of your life. HS teaches you the basics to actually start learning. Now the real fun begins.FordMan59 said:Don't devaluate a high school diploma though, without it you can hardly find any job.
Agreed, but having a diploma or GED is still essentially worthless, unless the person has aspirations for a careers in fast food. Without a BS in something, I don't see much hope in someone getting a job that pays enough to live on. Even with a college degree that's tough.FordMan59 said:Congratulations, I felt the same way when I graduated high school in '77. Don't devaluate a high school diploma though, without it you can hardly find any job. Even hamberger flippers usually are required to have a high school education anymore. My oldest son quit school and is now taking GED classes, because he found out what I told him about needing a diploma to get a job to be true. My youngest son will graduate from HS next year and has a part time job now that may turn into a full time job then. Good luck.
