High School Drop Out

You can't argue that you need of education to open doors of opportunity. Maybe you can squeak in through the backdoor or when the bouncer is not looking but that's highly unlikely. Once you're in, it's up to you to make it through. If you think school is tough, wait until you get into the real world. I hate to sound like a parent but going to school and learning stuff is not nearly as tough as 12 hour shifts on your feet pushing buttons as a cashier at your local Piggly Wiggly or slinging food to customers who mentally push you around, all for a salary that can't make ends meet. I volunteer at a homeless shelter and as trite as it sounds, a lot of people I meet really wish they stayed in school. In fact that was my job, I was the in house "tutor" you can say and helped some on their way to their GED. Because they can put the same number of hours looking for a job as a high school graduate and not find anything, then frustration happens and all the misc stuff that leads to the need for homeless shelters. Not to say everyone is destined to live in one who didn't graduate high school, but the chances aren't exactly as great as people who at least finish some diploma.

I worked at the Gap as a full time job during my winter break (I usually work part time during the year) and while it's not nearly as bad as most people have it, it was seriously the worst 3 weeks of my life. 8 hour shifts everyday on my feet until 1AM, all for a measly $400 when all was said and done.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
