How many of the choices you made in high school actually affect your adult life today?

This about sums it up

Give me back my fucking taco!

I wish I’d stuck with the vocational classes and ignored the utter morons I was surrounded by.

I could have made a killing and been retired by now, but I thought I was too smart and went to college, got in a bunch of debt, and crushed my soul in advertising and web dev for my best years.

Only one: dropping out. Best choice I ever made.

most people arnt informed alot of scholarship,, grants go unawareded and dont need significant gpa achievements to get. its probably the fault of High school not preparing people properly on financial aid.

did those classes had post-hs training? the pseudo-vocaitonal class i was i was woodwork, teaches you how to properly measure, cut wood etc. the teacher did try hard to keep the course from being cancelled for future semesters, but people wasnt interested for the most part in doing the class only the bare minimum.

if HS in my school had proper way of introducing algebra,adv algebra, chemistry i would taken it and i wouldve done much better in college with it.(they dont introduce algebra to students in ms, only for the more "Advanced students". except HS was just rehashing MiddleSchool courses.

but they already expected you to know those subject at from the getgo.
