What, it's like $125 these days for all your books and classes in school?

It cost me a ton of cash in the end, from my own pocket. You quit school, don't expect mom and dad to pay for your future schooling so you get somehwere. I worked shitty jobs for 6yrs. You can't get any other jobs other than hard, grunt work for shitty pay. Breaking your back for $10/hr while others have cushy jobs with an education for triple that.

Not to forget when an employer asks if I have a diploma, and I give him an equiv. to. Then the questions come out, "why didn't you finish high school, etc?" then they think you may have some issues because it took you until age 22 to do it.

What I'm saying is, I hated high school, and I wish I would have just put up with it and finished. Take it from someone who messed up but managed to recoupe, don't quit school! H.S is only 3 or 4 years of your life. It will pay off in the end.
You had to pay all that money to get your highschool from a college NCFY? That's kinda weird man, because I'm in B.C. and upgrading my highschool biology and math through the college right now, I'm 21, and all they needed was a $30 registration fee for the whole thing. What province did you take this in?
