Look, I dropped out of High-School. Thought I wouldn't make it very far but I was tired of being all locked up, doing stuff I never wanted to do.
I was literally wasting my time, so I decided to leave. My parents never really cared about me, they were divorcing at that time - only cared about themselves, so I didn't have the issue of nosey parents forcing me to go to school, get good grades and all that stupid bs.
I've found a pretty good job at an Art School in my hometown so I saved up a bit of money while freelancing as a graphics designer.
Saved up all the cash and spent it on design courses (New York Institute of Art & Design has really good design courses) which lead to way better jobs as my portfolio was getting better and better every day + I am an Adobe Certified Expert which looks really good on your applications.
Well 6 years fast-forward: worked on my GED, went to college and studied Game Art in LA (with no student debt).
Dropping out of High-School was the best decision I've ever made!
