My 17 y/o son just did this and shocked the heck out of our entire family. He quit he burger-flipping job and landed a decent job as a mechanic. He also quit his traditional high school and is finishing up with an online school. He should be starting college this fall.
He said that he didn’t see the point of wasting a year of his life in high school.
The thing that gave him the confidence is that he doesn’t have a family to support, he doesn’t pay rent, he doesn’t have a car payment... He’s free to do this.
Well said. More power to your son. He had all the supports necessary and went and did it.
Your son is going to be a WINNER and that is a great reflectin of his parents! Good job to you mom!
