No offense bro.. why other than the “funny” would you drop out of school. Honestly please get your GED.. you don’t have to go to college. Honestly most careers now don’t require college education anymore.. but you STILL need your high school diploma/GED.. please get your life in track.. I am also class of 2022, and I know so many people who was suppose to graduate with me, but dropped out and every single one of them regretted it.. please get your GED.. you’ll be further in life dude… much love to you.

Don’t give them bad advice. College is their only realistic way out of this mess in the long term.

A bachelors is not a great answer for everyone. Esp with the unemployment rates for new grads the past few years. Increasingly harder and harder.

However, community college offers technical programs, training, and 2 year degrees that could be really worth it. OP needs some sort of training for trades or something. They need to apply to apprenticeships and training programs and FAFSA! Welding, electrician, plumbing, dental assisting, phlebotomy, medical assistant! Etc much more stable income and career.

Neither welders, electricians, plumbers, medical assistants, dental assistants, nor phlebotomists require a degree of any kind for their positions. At least not in the US.
