High school dropout, here.

I didn't drop out, because I was wildly successful.

Exactly the opposite, in fact.

The process of climbing out of the wreckage is what helped me to become [moderately] successful.

I doubt anyone here, would be impressed by my career path, but I'm happier than I ever thought that I could be, now.

I think the apprenticeship model is really the best way to learn in a practical manner.

But that involves things like staying with employers for more than a year, and also, employers treating their employees in a way that makes them want to stay.

It also works with unions, because they have a whole infrastructure, wrapped around it.
