If you have a problem staying in school and toughing that out, then chances are your gonna have a problem stay at a job more than a year or 2 I bet. Not trying to be a prick seriously dude. This is just a serious subject to me, cause I made that mistake.

ive held a job since i was 13, it was only once a week for 2.5 hours but it worked because i didnt need the money, once i bought my car at age 15 i went and got a job, i have now held that job for 14 months and got promoted twice. im really not worried about holding down a job

Try working 40+ hours a week doing back breaking labor and throw some weekends in there to work also. You are just another number to an employer, most companies dont give a rats a** about their ppl and will cut you out in a heartbeat and not think twice about if you have a family to suppor. It sux, but thats whats coming. I understand how your feeling man about school, thats why ya gotta listen to us. Your at an age where ya just dont know what direction to go in for the future. But your also at an age where 99% of what you do is gonna most likely effect the rest of your life. And it seems easy to think you can make the right ones sometimes. But you have only lived less than 20 years there alot more challenges your gonna face in adult hood.
Something else I wanted to mention to ya. Say 10 years from now when you grow up. You got a decent job, but like most of us you feel you could do better. Ya find out the company you work for will pay for college, but guess what, you cant take advantage of that free education because you dont have a GED or Diploma. So now your gonna have to go back to GED classes first and waste another year or 2 on that before you can take advantage of the college your employer will pay for. Gonna suck being say 25, 30, 35, putting in a year or so for GED classes. Your gonna think damn, I should have just finished those last 2 years of high school and I would be going to college instead of 2 years of GED classes.
I wish you lived here, Id make sure your butt went to school! When I quit I had to have my parents sign a paper saying I could quit. May not be that way everywhere.
By the way, mechanics and bodymen usually dont make a great living.
