Don't drop out. I "finished early" but in all practicality it was the same thing. It seems like a good idea but I promise that my GED isn't worth anything.

I have been able to get good programming jobs based on my ability to get projects done. I wish I would have finished high school because now I'm taking online classes to figure out things I should have already learned. Google answers a lot of my questions but that isn't the same as learning it correctly the first time.

Who cares how bad school is, Don't drop out.
