Well I have a college degree, so people find it funny I never technically graduated high school. Did enough classes to qualify for graduation then ran away halfway through the year and never looked back. I was already enrolled at the college in an arts program so they didn't ask for the certificate. It didn't matter until I tried to get a job in a bureaucracy in my 40s and they wanted evidence of high school diploma. Which I didn't have.

God I hated high school.

I got tossed sophomore year, and got my GED later.

I graduated with a B.S. in engineering a few years ago.
