Education shows that you can start something and finish it. It tells an employer that you are not a quitter. you may think that it does not make a difference but when you are looking for a job it is very important. If all you know is one job and something happens you have a problem. Ifyou have an educationa and are trained in other areas then you have more opportunities open to you. You can always lake a lower position than you educational level but almost never something above you level of education.

I look around my office, and there are a few of them that have not gotten a college education. They cap out at about $15 an hour. I started my position in this company at over $20 an hour. You might still be able to get a job, but the pay will be much different, and you will never get ahead in life. Ask youself what your long term goals are. If it includes making some money and retiring, you better really think about some sort of post high school education.
