I always thought it was "bad" if one didn't graduate high school, but as my ignorance lessened, I now know that there are many people who have difficulty continuing education/schooling for specific and personal reasons. Schooling can be very difficult socially and mentally. It is important for kids to go to school to be socially and educationally "accepted" but is it really that necessary?

I think in the next few years we will be changing our schooling requirements. For many learning on the job is best. While it's wonderful to have a rounded education, I think that for everyone this is just not working. As long as basic reading writing and math are provided any additional education can be taylored through the internet.

School is very good. With proper education it usualy is easier to find a good job especially a good paying job. Many employers wont hire someone without having at least graduaded from highschool. some peole like you stated have trouble with finishing highschool ect due to persona reasons. I am one.. I was bed ridden threw alot of my teen years and had to do my GED to graduate.
but at least I DID finish my schooling no matter what.
GED is better then nothing when you have no other options.

Well, generally education will certainly give you and edge when you apply for a job or work. You will definitely find it hard to be accepted unless you are not educated. But it is not a way to measure success. There are people who have succeeded despite not being properly educated. Only after having accumulated wealth they started with gaining more knowledge and be educated. But of course this people may either be lucky or smart. So from my point of view, education should be given importance it you want to succeed may you be smart or not, it will certainly give you an advantage.
