(Excluding the fact that usually the first thing leads to the other)

Big-ass fortune -> Bank account -> Huge interests -> No need to work

Interest rarely exceeds the effect of inflation. I'd rather invest the big-ass fortune.

-> No need to work

That depends on how much you consume and for how long you intend to live. Also, no work -> minimum pension.

That is probably right in general, but with a big-ass fortune you could probably get an interest rate exceeding 4%. I know it's possible at Swiss banks, but I think that with a big sum it would even be possible at an American one. But if 99,99% security doesn't really matter, investing it would of course be a more preferable alternative.

Well, yes. But when it comes to pension, that won't matter since you will have your interests indefinitely.

Nerr... I left school illegally at age 12

I don't see why people attend... Life is so short, and so easily can get so much shorter. And people still waste so much of their young lives because 'it's the done thing'... I had a relaxed, lazy and highly philosophical teenage life, rather than a repetitive one with lots of ugly sex.

Now I get ladies climbing my hairy legs. "Oh T, you so crazy <3"

It's the rebel thing. It's like an electric magnet for vagina! >=o

The moral is: Quit school, you'll get humped and have time to read about four thousand books and play every game on the market. You just won't be able to afford them.

also think of the nice opportunities waiting in the social welfare lines when your plan and body starts failing. dying poor and alone must be nice.

What do you get out of all that in the long run?

When you're 57 and you're a dried up bum with dead parents and nobody to leech off, what then?

School really isn't that hard, just rough it out and it'll be over and you can do whatever, jeez.

Quitting school is stupid, not because you're missing out on an education but because you won't get the mad creds you need. I've learned more through reading a shitload of books than through school, but just having a fuckall library doesn't get you a job or let you go anywhere in life. I'm toughing it out because 1) my parents are smart and forcing me to go through it rather than watch me drop out and become a shithole and 2) i'd rather have something to fall back on (degree and references) than just go out in the world like a newborn baby tossed into a combine harvester.

TBH, if I could restart my life, I'd just go to tech high school(Whatever you call them), then skip university/whatever alltogether.

I feel that years spent on working and gaining experience would be as much alluring for potential employers as a dimploma in whatever.

Not to mention, sooner work -> sooner moving out -> fuck yeah.

The only thing stupider than dropping out of school is probably T-900.

So no one else read the subject of this topic as, "How serious do you take alcohol"?

Ugly? With ugly people? Or tedious, sticky fumblings in the back seats of cars? Stop it, I'm gettin' misty. Jesus dude, you sounded like a Tom Petty song there. Or worse yet, a Bob Seger song. Which were all covers, anyways. With a dash of Supertramp.

I mean, just look at education from the crass, commercial viewpoint...

Being a plumber or an air conditioning guy is fine, but you still need edumackashun for trades. Or a daddy who does that stuff. And you don't start out with forty dollar-an-hour wages. You start out answering house calls, cleaning the shit out of my neighbor's pipeworks, which always seem to jam up-- I wonder if it's dietary over there?

Seriously, dropping out of school is rutarded. Some day, well, that whole thing that LlamaGod said about that theoretical guy who is a douchebag second cousin of mine. Sorry but in most places jobs like my dad's [get out of high school, work the line, make thirty dollars an hour] are going south, and then change thirty to like five. Cents. Plus there's that whole thing about the HS diploma and you not being Bangladeshi or some dumpy, beardo dumbshit who speaks in clicks and riddles.

This guy in high school was a senior and he told us he was thinking about dropping out. We all told him he was a stupid fuck. Seriously, he says, Well I was gonna get this job at the mall food court, but they said they wanted me to have a HS diploma first. We laughed and called him names [also he listened to Poison] but he dropped out anyways. Whether he got a GED in the afteryears or not I don't know, but the other night, guess who I ran into clerking at the local adult bookstore? Talk about awkward. I avoided his gaze until he blurted out my name and asked how everyone was doing. Aww shit... He broke the cardinal rule of porn shops, but at least he wasn't on the dole.

O my God T I wuv u!!!!111 HUGZZ!!!11 Leik 2day @skool leik Sally says leik Stacy and Lori is leik SSSShhh and Mrs. Beecher OMG she sSOOOO meen and she herd us and she was leik NO RECESS and I was leik mad cuz I couldnt see that Bobby Needlemeyer in Mr, Lymans class and hes SOOOO hott!! But don b jelous T cuz I wuv u Tee and we gona get married and im gona run away from home and I'm really an FBI agent woops giggle jus kiddin u look leik brad pitt r u sure its not his pic u sent me wen w tradin pics??? Ru relly leik 30? Do you burp leik my dad and have a hairy back leik he dos? Jus kiddin sweetie pie!!!111 I wanna play wit dolly now!!!!111 HUGZZ!!!!111 Laterzz!!!

And at least I'm a college educated pervert... And no fucking pederast, child molesting fuck either. Do you really want to be Joaquim Phoenix's character in that shitty movie 8mm, only minus the coolness and plus even more gayness? Dude, I carry alcohol wipes in my car so that when I leave that place with my DVD I can wipe the herpegonorrsyphilitis off my hands. It's like working in a urinal, bro.

So what's left? A life of crime? I'd hate to sound like a fucking ONDCP commercial but crime mostly doesn't pay. It's like gambling, nobody quits while they're ahead. They only quit when they've lost the shirt off their backs. People do it for too long, they don't cook their meth for one weekend, cash their chips, and move on, no they start up a regular fucking drugstore in the trailer park.

And drugs is probably the only way to make gobs of cash and still live at home with mommy. Guess what? Someday the flavor-of-the-week is going to get old. Coke is passe, disco is dead, and while you didn't care enough to sit through good government bullshit, people have moved on. Crack cocaine, beanie babies, crystal meth, American Idol. And you're left with some hazy memories, a well-endowed cellmate, and thousands of dollars in unredeemable street loans. Risky business, and getting shot over a couple a thousand bucks is not my bag. But hey, that's venture capitalism for ya. You could always turn state's evidence, provided you're not some small time, punkass gopher with nothing to offer. And chances are you will be. Good luck with that, at any rate.

The local mobsters don't have a pot to piss in. They go to the Donut Hole and bitch about the $1.07 coffee and $3.00 at the pumps would ya believe??! Their kids get student loans. Or they live at home and become total fuck ups.

Oh, and pussy is on tap at college. It may not be perfect, hell it may not even be good looking, but at least it's abundant. And probably better looking than some neighborhood skank bitch with four kids and a Turkish moustache. Also, creepy guys who hang out at college but don't attend college get less of it than frat boys who do go there. And frat boys are pathetic.

2 people in my classes dropped out just a few weeks ago to carry on exciting jobs of being a barmaid and working at the cinema. This is like, a month off the end of the year.

2 weeks to go and a long boring summer awaits.
