Fully completing K-12 is just a huge waste of time, unless you are fully committed to career maxxing/wage slaving.

Obviously if you're content in getting a degree in some healthcare or administrative bullshit and working a job you hate for decades then finishing K-12 is mandatory. And no, this isn't the only path to acquire an income. It's just the easiest and most obvious one.

Personally, I think the ideal time to drop out of school is around the 7th or 8th grade. By then they've already taught you algebra, English, and how to write. You get very little ROI finishing the 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12rh grade.

Never drop out of school
