i hate school more than anyone on the earth and would have dropped out of high school many times if it were up to me in the moment but in my senior year they js told me to do sum online (which was like 2 classes from 10th and every class from 11th cuz i didn’t do anything that year and the current 12th) and i did it all in like a month so i was done with school by like September of that year and the only time i went back was to pick up my diploma i didn’t even go to graduation because i didn’t care about anything that would be there because i had moved schools recently and i don’t have a single real friend from that school and i kinda want to go to college now to get a degree but my gpa is probably cooked so even though i still hate school sm i regret not applying myself in that moment

Hmm interesting video ❤ I tried getting my GED several times after dropping out I kept failing cause maths was hell lol had to pay an online vendor for my diploma but
Comment from : @gloryjay2025

unless you want to go to college, there is no reason to complete HSbrbrMost jobs that "require" a high school diploma anyone in middle school can do brbrAs for wanting to work, if you REALLY can't wait, you can get a GED at 16 and work

School is theft They steal your youth and that energy you need to survive in the real world
Comment from : @DrJohannPryce

I think the advice and show over all would be better taken without the fake demeanor and cliché to David Ramseys persona…- the high school dropout
Comment from : @bassmaster2425

If your parents let you that's the question
Comment from : @willmartin1637

Work through high school like the rest of us did No degree will hurt you long term and limit your options People hear "didn't finish high school" and automatically assume loser That's just the sad truth
Comment from : @bulls-nation5783

THese two Great combo
Comment from : @joecro1453

Why is a company recruiting high school students that haven’t even finished high school?????
Comment from : @esonon5210

They are recruiting young kids that don't know any better for low payed grunt labor There is no opportunity for advancement in this position

I don't think Americans realize how immensely privilege they are to be guaranteed a basic education Never take it for granted
Comment from : @Ladyerica54

I love you guys advice
Comment from : @jaylenjenkins1696

Absolutely no way unless your signing a $5 Million bonus for something once and a lifetime
Comment from : @hotdogs5265

There are several opportunities in life that come along when you're young Dropping out of high school is a bad move unless this job would be a once in a lifetime opportunity This job doesn't sound like it's worth it Also, this is not like Bill Gates dropping out of Lakeside high school For one he didn't, but he did drop out of of Harvard to form Microsoft in New Mexico
Comment from : @KwavesProductions

You can usually pay to test out of classes and voluntarily do summer school to get a high school diploma one to two years early Wish more kids knew about those options
Comment from : @boxerchick702

NEVER drop out of high school
Comment from : @jimroscovius

College isn’t a must but high school, come on dude just finish it
Comment from : @Benita399

Previous video: “men are pathetic for dropping out of the workforce!!”brbrThis video: “Don’t drop out of school to go into the workforce”brbrHigh school is literally an indoctrination camp for feminism and and hating America Telling the kid to stick it out for the Pythagorean theorem and men can be women vs going to work to get valuable skills shows how disconnected the Ramsey team really is
Comment from : @CmndrXander

What's sad is that what he most likely is going to "learn" in high school probably is NOT going to help him earn an income at all after high school He just needs that piece of paper that says he graduated so that future employers don't immediately disregard him

Comment from : @CanChikMay

Comment from : @L__set

People are understanding if you skip college You will ALWAYS get funny looks if you don’t get a high school diploma GED is basically meaningless

Comment from : @stonepumpkinsable

Jobs have too many Highschool Graduation requirements in the long run
Comment from : @Naturenerd1000

That kid is really motivated and it sounds like he knows what he wants! I had no idea what I wanted at that age, and I still sometimes am unsure of what I want to do, but that's amazing! He definitely was taught well and if he continues to work hard, he will have a lot of money saved up and most definitely can retire :)
Comment from : @susani1986

Love how they answered this young man
Comment from : @autumnjerene

This kid is smarter than most adults Who knows it could work He doesn't need any degrees to own a business I think this could work with a lot of self discipline
Comment from : @tonyalmeida1746

Comment from : @totallifehacker1781

At 15 I got a job at a body shop detailing car's At 16 I was on a frame straightener and replacing body panels working flat rate making 400 a weekthis was back in 93 You don't need a high school diploma to be an auto mechanic just state certification I would have loved to drop out at 16 but my parents didn't want me to High school was a complete waste of time for me If I was a kid now especially since we have internet now and the public schools are trash nowadays I'd say drop out take online classes work from home
Comment from : @jasonbrown7258

Pretty shocking that we have people in this country who think they can accomplish anything in this life without basic school education Good God
Comment from : @MrScottless

Watch the lumberjack landlord 9th grade drop out
Comment from : @KidCity1985

You can get the same type of jobs with a GED compared to a hs diploma Not everyone has a good time in hs
Comment from : @leeannvan1422

I work 35-40 hours per week on top of highschool, just do both
Comment from : @RealKered

I can see advising someone to shy away from college or maybe even drop out of college if the circumstances are right, but I think telling someone to drop out of high school is bad advice Just stick it out and finish They are correct, there is a stigma on a GED Just finish HS and move forward
Comment from : @DominickSpano

Worst idea ever
Comment from : @patty109109

Comment from : @mikeshaw4610

Comment from : @isamepython

I don’t think anybody ever says I’m so glad I never completed high school Just for a peace of mind and for self-confidence I think it’s important
Comment from : @jking5772

Yes Do it The real education is in the work force My biggest regret was staying in school It held me back
Comment from : @joeriveracomedy

admin you should look into real estate photography
Comment from : @maxlasater

If you think dropping out of high school to go work for a rock crushing company and your parents haven’t kiboshed this yet, maybe Dave didn’t change your family tree in the way you hoped
Comment from : @adamseidel9780

bIt is better to invest now You will never be younger than you are today and there will never be a perfect time to invest Due to compounding, which Einstein called the 8th wonder of the world, you can get rich slowly from investing if you do it from a young enough age/b
Comment from : @fnlillyshiben194

His parents need to just graduate him through the state's homeschooling laws Be done with it! This is what high school produces nowadays NOTHING!

Comment from : @HummBabyBaseball

What kind of employer encourages a minor to DROP OUT OF HIGHSCHOOL to work manual labor for them full time? A scummy one This has exploitation written all over it
Comment from : @shannonb8022

Don’t drop out… Just switch to pennfoster which is a accredited highschool online You can carryover credits you’ve completed You also get a real highschool diploma
Comment from : @vladbelonozhko339

No
Comment from : @davidnonnenmocher5122

I quit my highschool at 16 and started penn foster online highschool which is an accredited actual highschool diploma I worked full time and did school after work and finished it early it cost like 400-1000 dollars depending on how much credits you have carry over from your other highschool Definitely worth it… I’m now 21 and own a home have wife a kid and drive a semi truck for a living and I love it Everyone from my grade is still trying to decide what to do with there life
Comment from : @vladbelonozhko339

Drop out Highschool is not worth it
Comment from : @The_Washingtons_2022

My question: what type of company would encourage a 16 year old to drop out of high school so they can work for them?
Comment from : @trent797

It all depends on his situation If he’s flunking out of high school already at sixteen, I see no problem with joining the work force Especially if he has a plan
Comment from : @OzMoney

Interesting perspective
Comment from : @jonquindiagan682

Never drop out of high school That’s the bare minimum education one should do
Comment from : @dinospumoni8860

Maybe homeschool if you really want to work?
Comment from : @alqoshgirl

Adin, I believe the best thing for you , is to stay in school and graduate from college with a PhD or a bachelors degree Employment requires some sort of degree nowadays
Comment from : @brendaplatero1918

I'm a University drop out and think that college for most careers are overrated but I'll never tell anyone to drop out if high school If the kid wants to have a career in developing real estate, have him work on construction job sites in the summer to see how things work in the real world
Comment from : @cgasucks

He's on the right track and he's going to do great in life!!!
Comment from : @paul_domici

You’re fine without college but everyone has to get a high school diploma especially if you’re not an entrepreneur, entertainer and etc
Comment from : @jjbdbd8279

He can always get his GED
Comment from : @rebeccaoprea9917

Why didn’t anyone ask about the pay? If it’s 20-35/h definitely not worth it Could possibly be a $50/h job making $100k/yr At that point do GED on the side and have $250k in your pocket at 20 years oldbrbrYes there’s a GED stigma But there’s not stigma for a early 20 year old with almost a half a mil in his pocket
Comment from : @Mackofalltrades

I went to HS with a guy dropped out senior year, 2nd semester Like 4-5 month till graduation I still talk to him but it’s mind boggling to this day At least graduate
Comment from : @edb484

I sincerely hope this kid finishes high school at the very least
Comment from : @ra5994

Another option would to take the job, finish highschool via homeschooling
Comment from : @scottgilbert1591
