Dropping Out of School

Dropping out of school affected her life seriously. Dropping out of high school might seem like a good idea, but my friend’s experience has taught me otherwise. It affected her in three negative ways: low wages, no permanent job, and early marriage. First of all, my friend thought it was a good idea to drop out of high school because, according to her idea, she was getting a large amount of money at her job. To illustrate, she worked as a fast food restaurant earning a minimum wage, seven dollars an hour. For a high school student that seem too much money, but she id not take into account that obtaining a high school diploma and a college degree would make her earn much more that that amount. Secondly, not after a few months my friend found out that working at a fast food restaurant was not a permanent job. She struggled to find a good paid job because she had no professional experience and no degree. Therefore, she found jobs at fast food restaurants and grocery, earning, again, minimum wage. Finally, dropping out of high school also caused her to get marry at the young age of nineteen. She had her first kid at twenty, and as a result it was more difficult to work and take care of the child at the same time. Low wages, no permanent job, and an early marriage were three main factors caused by dropping out of high school. Do not ever consider dropping out of high school, it is not a smart idea.
