A company decides that even though you haven't finished school you are just the type of person they need. They are willing to offer you a guaranteed salary for seven years in a job you would enjoy.

The only catch is that you have to leave school right now to take it.

What salary would they have to offer you to say goodbye to school?

p.s. this includes HS & College

It's a job you'd enjoy. So if you like computers, it's a job in computers. If you like kayaking you're a kayak instructor.

I guess I am the only vote for will not leave. I am almost done with grad school. Cannot take away that degree once I have it.

If it was college, I'd do it because I can always go back

In fact, I did leave college for a job (and went back to school later), but it only paid $14k a year :p

After those seven years you would be free to return to college or you could resign with the company.

High School?
None.
You look like a complete asshat if you cant get a HS diploma. They are practically giving them away these days.

College?
Since I am not in college I'll take $100,000 if you want me to leave.

I wouldn't leave school for any amount of money. I love learning science and mathematics, etc.

If you're good enough to pull from college, they can wait till you finish. Leaving without a degree is a sure fire way to fvck yourself.

It would depend on what kind of position/company it is. College is overrated actually. I have seen so many people without college degrees succeed. I would definitely consider leaving.
