what is the pathway of a uneducated young person in the United States?

It depends what kind of job they want to go into. I feel a person has to have a good education growing up if they want to survive in this world, get a good job, and make a living when they grow up in the United States.

Look into a Pathways program. You can earn college credits while you're still in school. It will save you a lot of time when you graduate from high school.

Congrats on making it this far!  I'm 21, and I still don't know what I'm going to do for the rest of my life.  For now I'm taking the gen. ed. courses (the basic courses required for any degree) at a community college and trying to get some sort of administrative certification so I can make a little more money while I figure it out.  But life after high school is a LOT less stressful, especially if you DONT procrastinate.  Good luck!

Hi Sarah,\nIn the USA you can find many opportunities in any big city. Get on a bus to take you downtown. It won't be much of a walk until you find a soup kitchen where you can apply your talents. Many homeless people are suffering from mental illness and your gift of reason and skills for personal communication can be a great help to getting them get off the streets.\nPut your education to use, Sarah. Make the world a better place for all of us.\nGavin

There is something like an International Student Center (free) at many of the universities around the United States that can connect you with a tutor and mentor, and the center has activities for foreign students too.\n\nThe way to learn anything is one step at a time.  If you learn one new thing each day, you are improving and that is what it takes.  So practice, practice, practice.  What is especially helpful is to find someone who speaks English, and then connect with that person to help you.

You don't.  Drop out at age 16, get a no or low skilled job.  Buy a car and go to bars every night.  Sound like a great life?  Gets very boring after the first week or so.  You need the education to get a better job and the intelligence to make something of yourself.

If you want to counsel/mentor kids you could go to the Anasazi program in Arizona.  Almost all of my brothers and sisters and a sister-in-law have been there and were successfully launched into their careers, not to mention fixing a problem before it's too serious and getting motivation. They love their jobs.  I'm thinking about going there, too.  You won't regret it!

None.  As a Minor, you have the right to listen to you parents, go to school, study and do what other kids are doing:  learning the skills and info needed to become contributing members of society.  Regardless of country of origin, unless your parents had their rights stricken, they are presumed to be competent and raising you properly. \n\nYou should thank you parents for caring enough to be interested in your life.  I've been on my own since 17 years old, (I am now 28) and I wish I could have had my mom that interested in my life.  Now, with my parents passing, I am left to remember those times.\n\nLegally, as long as you are an unemancipated minor, you get to either follow their rules, or get punished.  Should you rebel by skipping school and such, you will be forced to attend, if noy locked away, forcibly schooled and otherwise regulated until you reach adulthood.\n\nTo become emancipated, at least generally in the US, you need to prove that you are both able to take care of yourself financially, scholastically and generally.  Quite hard, considering most kids get paid crap, don't like to save, and can not be trusted to go to school for themselves.\n\nAgain, give your folks a big hug and a kiss and thank them for taking a proactive stand in your life.

Look, I'm 28 and I'm going back in January. College as a young adult didn't work for me at all. Parties, politics, drugs and idiocy were all I ever experienced. 18 was just too young to think about holding the destiny of my future in my very hands.\n\nNow that I have lived a little I have a btter understanding of what it is I actually want to contribute to the world. I know what I will study and my time and money won't be wasted on classes that have no importance for me.\n\nI'm also very lucky because I live in NY and there is an excellent school that focuses on continuing education for adults with some college, most around 1-2 years. There is no age restriction and no course requirements, meaning if you are in, you can take as many or as few classes as you like until you are finished, be that 1 year or 35 years.\n\nLook for colleges with similar ciriculum. Talk to universities and many have programs particular for adults. And if you live in the North East, look into New School

Ignore the ignorance of the man above me's post, and if you wish to come to America to pursue an interest in a study, you'll have to have good grades, and a student visa if you are of studious normal age and if not a temporary visa that can be retrieved through the department of immigration.

criminal justice is the way to go young man. also helpful in this day and age would be a second language, even a third. find a good school that maybe has a good police academy in it too. that way you can start getting some hours in for certification. most states need 360 hours minimum for certification depending on what part of law enforcement you wish to enter. ROTC will help also.It's usally easier to start at the County level and work your way up. but you can always attend a highway patrol or city academy and start that way too. lots of option in this fielf.  good luck.

I'm not really familiar with the education levels you mentioned, but I would suggest that you might want to apply to Baruch College, http://www.baruch.cuny.edu/--the business branch of City University of New York.  Your practical background in IT might be of interest.  I wouldn't worry about your age.  Many students in US colleges and CUNY in particular are a bit older than "college age."  You might well find work in IT in the city.  As to cost, NY is an expensive place to live, but Baruch is relatively inexpensive.  You could live in one of the "outer" boroughs--Queens or Brooklyn--where apartments are a little less expensive and where there are subways to take you into Manhattan.  The neighborhoods of Sunnyside and Woodside in Queens come to mind as possible places to live.  I believe that if you are accepted, CUNY may be able to help with or at least guide you as to how to get a visa.
