Job offer.

[KittyGurl]

I don't plan on getting hired anywhere I will have my own place no matter what.

So are you just going to be a grommer for the rest of your life? Don't get me wrong, it's a good job, you get paid, but wouldn't you want a different job to get paid more money. People these days only care about education. Dropping out of high school is a BAD idea. Even if you do get Cs and Ds, it's a lot better than dropping out of school.

What's wrong with having a career that makes you happy so long as you make enough money to get by? You don't have to live in luxury and make six figures a year to be happy.

I'd choose being a DNR officer any day over an office job that paid 3 X's as much.

BC,

After viewing your posts again and your spelling, you NEED to stay in school.

Buttercup, I think you should really think about your decision and go with your heart. I don't think you should take the job just for the money- because your parents are there to help you and there will always be jobs. Think about what you really want and don't let yourself feel pressured just by the pay.

That being said, I don't think education is the end all and be all of the universe. I hated high school and went through a really rough time through my parents divorce and so on, and I left school and got my GED. It has never for a moment not been "good enough." I was still able to go to a good college, get a BA, and now I am even in graduate school. Even though I hated high school I loved college.

If you decide to take the job, then that's your decision. I do think you should try to get your GED (or the Canadian equivalent) because that way, if you ever decide to make a change, it will be easier. And pursuing one right when you leave school will be so much easier than waiting. Even if you stay a groomer for the rest of your life, you will still have that to show.

Remember, you are not dumb no matter what anyone says! Intelligence is not one size fits all. Don't let other people get you down, just go with your own instincts.

I haven't read the other posts. Sorry if I'm repeating.

You probably only have what, a year or two left? Right now you're probably thinking it would be great, you don't need it...but what if someday your grooming job goes down the drain? or it's not enough? Someday you might regret not finishing school. I've known people who did the same and later regretted and had to go back for their high school equivalence or whatever it's called. It's up to you but try thinking of all options.

Thats not what I said.

I don't think its contructive to point that out in that manner.

Why? I'm not becoming something that needs it. Sorry that I have typos and mis spell somethings.
After veiwing your post again you should probly go back to pre school and learn some manners and how to get along with others.

I'm not doing it just for the money, it's just it would be helpful.

Just something to think about- if you decide to leave school to work full time will your parents continue to support you? Will they let you continue to live with them? Will you need to pay them rent? Will you still be on your parents insurance?

No I can live here as long as I want and don't have to pay anything. My brother is 21 going on 22 and still lives here. He's in college right now but even if he wasn't he would still be able to be here.

Amy, I do plan on doing more dogs. My boss doesn't work late either we usually finish 10 dogs by 1/2. And I can't move out on my own, I won't do it I'm far too parinoid and can't stand being alone. So I will have split rent.

BC, Being a good, kind person is more important than having perfect spelling, just keep that in mind. I hope you find happiness and fulfillment whatever you decide. Your young and have your whole life ahead of you.
