Answer 4

As much as some students may dislike high school, dropping out does have documented consequences. While you may have no trouble getting a low-wage job, few employers in the higher-wage classifications want to hire someone without at least a high school diploma or G.E.D. Further, a majority of occupations today expect a vocational certificate or a college degree.

There are many studies which show that high school dropouts make less money than those who are graduates. In short, without finishing high school and either getting a skilled trade or attending college (or both), your future earnings and your career options will be very limited.

Answer 5

there are no pros, stick in school unless you want to earn minimum wage the rest of your life
