Since when does a person's behavior in school reflect their behavior in a professional setting?! My mom is an X-ray tech, she has never been asked about her GPA when applying for a job, the prospective employers are content with the degree. My dad is an engineer who builds space shuttles, same deal.

If HS is not for you, you should find something that IS and do that instead. I was inspired to leave HS partially by a teacher there who told me that leaving school was the best decision she ever made. The school option is ALWAYS available later if someone changes their mind. Why waste time doing something you are not going to excel at or enjoy if you don't have to!?

What does "most majors that matter" mean, anyways? They all matter.
