Should students be allowed to drop school if they know what profession they want to do?
Many students spend 12 years in a public or private school and they learn almost nothing they would use in real life unless they went into that profession (ex. Chemistry or Physics). So if you know what you want to do in life should you be allowed to drop out of school and go into a school where you learn that profession and if so what age should you be?

I think in life it is important to have a back up plan. We now live in a society that if you don't have no source of income, you can't survive in this world. Shame but true. That is why i would force my children to get a degree in college if "he" cant sing anymore. Or "she" has tremors and can't cook anymore. I believe children make mistakes. They don't know the importance of "this" time of life. "What if" is the question. And honestly it is a painful question. What if your life fails? What if your backup plan fails? Life is a risk. And this doesn't grammatically make sense but if you don't take a risk, that is a risk itself. Risk is inevitable. I still believe it is important to at least have one backup plan. And if both plan fails for my children, and im dead and their source of income is gone....i can only say good luck. Sad. I hate this world. But i love God. Or at least i try. And Jesus Christ too.

That is very true. But a lot of what people learn in school isn't used unless you actually go into that profession. For an example Chemistry, you will never use it unless you go on to be a chemist, even if you take Chemistry in High school you will still have to take it in college. Geometry is another example of a useless subject that you have. When will you use Geometry? When your an architect. I know that kids don't make the right decisions but the fact is that just because you get a college degree, it doesn't mean you are guaranteed a job. I know someone who went through 8 years of college and it took him 1 1/2 years to get a job and it didn't even pay well. I think that if you spend more time learning a specific profession like Nursing, Chemist, Mechanic, ect. When those kids get out of college they would be much farther ahead then anyone who else. They would have 6 years learning a specific profession then the usual 4 years. People would be able to start their professions at two years earlier then the normal people or the same aged people with two years more experience. This would mean that there would be more professionals and also smarter people in the specific field. I think that it would be much better to have that then to have someone go through high school learning things they don't want or need and then going into college and by the time they finish their 22 and by the time they can be an expert in their fields they will probably be 30 Side: yes
