It doesn't give me that impression, but you're posting this makes it apparent you are.

I wouldn't go around talking to people, you might give them the impression that your a loser @hole as soon as you open your mouth.

Interesting strategy, let me make sure I have this clear. Your going to insult me into judging people solely based on thier education level, is that it? I know idiots with lots of degrees and smart people with little education. Ameesh's comment is elitest and ignorant, yours is just assinine.

I *AM* a loser-moron for not finishing high school!!!!!

I actually finished school, but between tweeking hard and missing 6 months due to back surgery I didn't get enough creds to get my diploma.

BUT: I'm saying it to let folks know who already blew it that it *IS* possible to still make a decent living and get head in the world.

fixed.

see that folks you can make money and get head....no dimploma required!
 
Good Job, its pretty impressive of how far you have gone without a HS diploma. What you might want to do in the future though is get a HS diploma, and even potentially do some part-time college.

Congrats on the promotion.

I'm (hopefully) not encouraging folks to drop out of school. I'm just trying to encourage those who've gone nowhere (including those with degrees!!!) to keep up the fight. Don't give up.

I did my share of sh!t jobs. My peak was as a Shift Leader at Carl's Jr. :roll: I was a waiter for a while, even worked in a pet store. At 26. But I never gave up on trying to do better. Since I hate sales, my options were really limited.

I tried to get into the Air Farce while in high school. I got a 98 on my ASVAB and had my choice of paths. ROTC was what I wanted. But my back surgery (scoliosis and dorsal kyphosis) put the kebosh on any military service. :| I *did* give up for a while there. But when my son was born it helped set me straight.
Soooo, you're saying drop out of HS and have a kid, and that will make things all better?

haha jk. congrats on your success. you took the long and hard road, but it still ends up in the same place...
