    Default What would you let your kids drop out of high school for?

    Inspired by sifuns.... What the crap are parents doing thread? I wondered if we could imagine a worthier reason to let our kids drop out of high school for. Other than to pursue air guitar fame and fortune.

    Depends. If the kid is sure of what he wants to do with his life and a University degree/High School Diploma is not necessary, then it may be ok.

    If he is drifting and unsure (like many of us are at that age) I would get them to finish High School so that there are more open avenues to persue at the end.

    However depending on the profession you are taking, Uni could be overated and often a complete waste of time and money, specially if you are just starting out.
