A lot of it is pretty useless and irrelevant but if you aren't going to get a decent job if you don't finish school. It would be nice if schools did a better job at preparing students for the "real world".

Couldn't have said it any better. Schools just want you to pass without actually preparing yourself for the real world like how to get a mortgage or apply for a loan.

I think its important till about 9th or 10th grade, I dropped out in 10th and got my GED and started college. I figured I learned enough throughout my 10 years that I was ready to learn something that will actually help me in the real world.

Would you mind explaining it more? I mean, I don't think you can drop out from school at that grade.

I have no clue where you are located, or if the law is different but in the U.S. you can drop out at age 16 and i was 17 when I dropped out.

Edit: I guess you though I was talking about me being 10 when I said "I figured I learned enough throughout my 10 years" but i was meaning my 10 years of school.

Yes, school is very important!

If you would like a financially stable future, your best bet is to educate yourself. Schools aren't required, but they tend to be the best form of education, and considering the success rate of those as opposed to those who have not - it really wouldn't hurt. And I swear to God if anyone mentions Steve Jobs or Bill Gates, I will end you. Steve Jobs stole his friend's idea, he actually did manage to get into a prestigious college - and voluntarily went to classes he was not even registered in. He showed an interest in learning through educational facilities, and only left once he saw his dream spark. He was inspired by his friend's idea to show it off and sell it, and managed to make one of the largest corporations off of his friend's own concept. (Who I should probably mention graduated from University of California, Berkeley). Along the way, Bill Gates comes in and takes one of the pre-built computers that Steve Wozniak built, and basically copies it. Literally no education required to copy someone's idea, but some day you'll need to back yourself from legal issues - which you'll need to be pretty highly educated, or have some fat stacks to hire a lawyer fight a criminal case.

Yes, it is necessary.

You need it, but you don't.

Teaches you some stuff but most is irrelevant and shit.

School should be used as a choices learning tool. As in you go their and pick what you want to learn. I feel as though it should be STEM orientated only, drop the history and etc until higher education. Teaching history doesnt prevent the past.
