i was sittin in school like every other sucker listening to someone teach me shit i won't ever use in life so i dropped outta high school at 17 to peruse my own business and now i make more money than every teacher that said i couldn't do it.

just for comparison on the other way.....
had bills starting at 19 - worked as a shoe salesman, then a waiter
owned my own house by 20/21 - rent a room in house monthly for cash
going thru college on loans to study radio broadcasting and engineering...
i have an internship lined up at clear channel next fall, and radio one next spring....
so im a lil behind apexx in age and in acomplishments...but just showing that you dont have to drop out persay to get ahead.....really all it takes in determination.....you got that and you can do anything.....
