So he's stupid for choosing a life he likes and enjoys rather than waste his time, money, and sanity for a piece of paper?
Really, a piece of paper? is that really what it is, though? Are you absolutely sure a diploma is 'just' a piece of paper, in our limited lives where getting a second shot at something is rare or will figuratively cost you a limb of work. I'm a game developer, I can do this for a living at age 17, but I won't, I'm currently working hard, even through my crippling depression. I'm not even close yet, I have 6 years left in school, until I finally have the proper piece of paper that will promise me a game developing job, without having to take a gamble by quitting school and just hoping I will be lucky. I've had the choice to quit many times, I started from the absolute bottom, the lowest level, because I forget up a lot. I had it easy in school the first year, because it was just the bottom. That diploma however isn't worth stuff unless you like disposing garbage. Having an easy schoo life however, is relaxing. I was tempted to stay. But am I really going to potentially waste the rest of my life because I wanted an easy school life? No, I want to do what I enjoy, and that is making video games, and I want that assurance, I want to make big figures so I can live a medium wealth life at least. Quitting will not get you this, you work for that 'piece of paper', because that paper is a loving ticket to a promise. (Unless you're in art school lmao)
Sorry for the paragraph, it's a soft spot.
