I've got this friend Elias. He's a partier, smokes, drinks and skips school most of the time. As he says, he never goes to school high - he never goes to school. Well, he's 20, still in High School, and probably going to fail this year, if he does its over for him. He sees this, is aware of the position he is in, and doesn't know how to get out, it's a scary place to be with your life ahead of you.
Here's my advice for people in this situation.
Not all jobs need a diploma. Infact, many jobs don't. Do you have a special skill? Most careers in the arts do not necessitate a diploma (aprat from a critic, cutator, historian, etc), and there are tons of careers you can create online. You can sell things you make, murchandise you buy in bulk, old thing you don't need anymore or buy cheap (in a thrift store for example). You could also make a blog or website.
Elias has started making a website. He is doing a beautiful job, it is a gret website with a very specific target audience he can realte to and understand. Also, Elias is very good at publicity. He seems interested in turning it into a career - or at least happy to have an option.
