He really needs to have a high school diploma but a ged is better then not having either. And he will make more money having a real high school diploma. Where are his parents? And why doesnt he want to go to high school. If he has some problems there maybe he needs to see a counciler.

since he suggested you looking for another work, i don't think he would find it offending if you do. just explain to him that your decision for looking for work at another firm is for your career growth. it is really hard to mix your personal life with your career life. but if your boyfriend loves you, he would want you to be a better person and for you to grow.

You'll probably want to take it to the PhD level.\n\nThat's 8 to 12 years after high school.  Then there's post doctorate study.  So probably 12 years.

For a high school student you have done a remarkable job planning your future. You don't really need much help - you have things clearly mapped out. Good Luck.

i went to job corps in sept 2001, it was an experience. i attended Flatwoods in Coeburn west virginia. i was a 21 high school graduate and some college and a three year old. i went to get away from everything that was going on in my life to find some directions and sort out what i wanted to do with my future. well it is really a "what you make it" kind of situation.  because there is kids there from all types of areas, family background, and dealing with different situations. it is kind of structured. i mean if you dont have a high school diploma then you go to school then to your trade. if you have a high school diploma then you go to your trade all day, and/or college. you go to lunch at certian times, but breakfast and dinner is all at once and by choice. you do have liberty on weekends to stay up late and go to other job corps for dances or to the movies or skating. you have to pay for this out of your allowance. the worse part is the interaction from some of th e students is not always positive. there is a lot of fights and arguements some times. i had to fight twice to prove myself and after that i didnt have to anymore. so just keep in contact with your boys, send them monthly items like magazines a little money, snacks, and personal items so that they dont have to spend save up 30 dollar checks every two weeks or borrow.

Do it legally/ He must work or go to school and stay out of trouble for a length of time-how hard is that?

You'd be perfectly fine at college.  I'm almost 24 and in my senior year.  My boyfriend is nearly 28 and in his senior year.  You'll be fine.  Go for it!

If the education takes three years, I have to join the others and say encourage him to finish it. Even if it is not for him, he will have the degree, and if all else fails, he can fall back on it and take temporary jobs that he is qualified for, until something else comes up.

Yes! I think it would be terrible if you didn't atleast pass highschool!  TRUST ME YOU'LL REGRET IT!  There are VERY few jobs out there that are well paying for people without a college deploma... EXPECIALLY for people without a high school diploma.  Just keep your goal of doing well.  Keep giving yourself goals, and fight for them! It will make you feel good! And can help you get a good paying job! :D Hope you make a good choice!

If you attend public high school, I would say no. Maybe a tiny bit more math. Maybe 5 to 10 minutes of homework a day on some days. That's not much. I started working part-time at 15 so that took some maturity because I wanted to have money for clothes and going out (I wouldn't recommend that though because I was often tired for school b/c I worked late sometimes).\n\nI did take a SAT prep course and would recommend that, because SAT scores are important I think, I think they look more at your SAT scores than your grade (because high schools vary in quality but SAT is the same everywhere). Well, I would try to have decent A/B grades which is not hard to do and a decent SAT score if you want to go to college; not that big a deal. You might want to join one or two high school organizations like I wound up doing (plus with some like sports you might be able to get scholarships, etc). It's supposed to look good to the colleges you apply to; you also make friends, and you're supposed to just enjoy high school. Have fun!

Be honest, cover your own way once in a while when you can, & let him see first hand you have goals & ambitions.  If you are concerned with a career & a future, & are either working, going to school, or both, he will feel more comfortable around you.  Also, trying to plan activities which don't require spending loads of cash may help, too.

Sounds like a typical high school thing to do. He IS in High School, right? \nOtherwise, I would venture to say he has some growing up to do.

It really depends on what you plan on doing.  If you are going to go into the field that you are being trained in at the vocational school then it should be fine.  In fact, that is often seen as better than a traditional 4-year.

Most jobs require more than just a high school diploma.  I would suggest starting at a community college with just the basics until you know what you want to major in.  You could take one class at a time if you don't want to make a full commitment.\n\nYou will definitely regret it later if you don't get a higher education.  Your job choices will be greatly limited as well as job promotion, advancement and job salary.

I depends on who he works for, where he works and how much he works. Remember, he still has to pay for insurance, staff, building rent, pay for equip. etc. Also if he is fresh out of school, he may be payng off student loans.
