Hmm, so maybe you should try to be a porn star? That way you kill 2 birds with one stone!

I'll make a deal with satan, then I'll be the most famous pornstar on the planet *evil laugh*

I'm 17 and i turned 17 on 6/9(lol) but my profile age didn't update for some reason. Idk why. 

I didn't think about a GED

I can't imagine dropping out of school myself. What lead to you doing that?

Well a lot of things lead to it. I was "friends" with the nerds who constantly made fun of me for my low grades, and even when I got good grades I was reminded that I was in normal classes like algebra where as they were in Pre-calc. So I decided Junior year I would take all AP/college classes and try my hardest, however my depression became extremely bad to the point where I became apathetic to school work and didn't do it. I became paranoid about what others thought about me, and I became even more suicidal than I was last year(and not in a typical overdramatic teenage fashion where losing a football game makes you tie a knot). So I didn't care about doing anything because my mindset was it won't matter soon enough anyways, of course it's easier to think about something than to actually do it, which is why even now I'm still around sucking up oxygen because it's not an easy decision to make. My parent started to figure out how bad school was affecting me even though I try never to complain or talk about anything, and since I had an F in every class (like literal 0%s) and school was ending in only 2 and a half months, She decide that I can just stay home. I didn't know that she actually talked to the principal to make a plan for the school to make a meeting where all the teachers came together and made a plan for me to pass in time. Of course I thought I was simply not in school anymore but apparently I was actually supposed to go back. So a month or two later and the school had not contacted her again and she found out they kicked me without even calling. I wasn't upset because I thought I was already un-enrolled, but apparently she was still waiting for the meeting from the principal. Since the principal never arranged one, they just took me out of the public school program. I honestly can't blame them. Anyways it was technically illegal for me to drop out, since I wasn't 17 yet till after school ended, although I guess the school kicked me out so I don't know if it was illegal, but either way missing two months of school is illegal anyways. I'm surprised I didn't get a cop call.

I guess this is tmi but I feel that putting too little would make the answer unjustified. I agree that it's almost never justified, leaving school. Even now it was a pretty stupid decision hahahahaha. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone! It was clearly a mistake

I was a cop, and good at my job. But I committed the ultimate sin—and testified against other cops gone bad. Cops that tried to kill me, but got the woman I loved instead. Framed for murder, now I prowl the badlands...an outlaw hunting outlaws...a bounty hunter...a RENEGADE.

Excellent man...I love it!

Stuff

Dude, just enroll in an online program.  You can go at your own pace and nobody is watching you.  You can get still get your diploma!  Worst case it prepares you for the GED.  Plenty of opportunities man, don't give up!

Most of the times, I'm the cook at a fast food restaurant. I'm the guy who cuts the chicken, processes the chicken to be cut the next day, prepares and fries the chicken, and does cleaning up duty. Now more than ever, I'm on cleaning duty.

I despise cutting the chicken as I'm in a hellish numbing cold for most of the morning. I don't consider myself being good at it, as my cuts are sub-par and I take too long. I would consider myself alright cooking the chicken, despite being slow during peak hours. I excel at cleaning duty and it's the part I really like doing, even if it seems degrading for other people. Even still, I don't consider myself being the best at it.

I worked food prep, dishes and busing in the front of the house when I was younger. Somedays I actually miss it.

I dont have a job, I'm still a high school student now heading into grade 11. I get straight A's, so I guess I can say I am good at my job?

Don't get too comfortable. I've seen it happening to my old colleagues, school perfomance isn't the sole indication of future success, in fact, planning and social skills play a bigger role. Just a bit of advice :)

I would agree with commentator's advice.



I am an Operations Manager VP at a large world wide bank. That's basically a manager of managers level. At that job I am average. My biggest opportunity is doing a better job of managing up and all the areas that entails. What I am exceptional at is the individual department I run. My knowledge and experience there is definitely among the top in the world.



I make software. I guess I'm alright. My director is certainly happy with the job I do,



I work for a Laundromat -- turned 20 years working there in May 2017. I must be doing something right...
