If I want to live a better life than shit I do.
You can live a fine life without graduation.
Not round here you can't...
That's the mindset that makes it not possible to live a decent life without graduating. If you have a talent, and everyone does, you can exploit it and make money, or you could just work a normal job that doesn't require a graduation. A good life is not necessarily one with a lot of money, and most graduates I know don't even make much money, take my father for example.
Oh I know plenty of people who are poor and had a fine life - in fact, they probably had a better life than I am having now. My mother when she was a child, my grandparents...They had a wonderful life. No, I'm thinking of the people who have no qualifications of any sort, no developed skill, who squandered their compulsory education on being 'cool' and trying to ruin other's education at the same time. These people can't possibly have a good life - they cheat, they lie, they're unhappy, pick a fight with people in the streets for wearing a hoody or being 'snobby', and just waste the little money they have on tacky clothes and accessories, any brats they had as a teen and booze.
However it is perfectly possible to have a happy life without an income.
Difficult, but possible.

bit of a broad sweeping sterotype I know, but I grew up with quite a few people who have turned out that way. Most of the town just 5 minutes away from me is made up of people like that. Apparently it's the Chlamydia centre of Europe. Not sure if it's true or not, but there's a bit of trivia for you
back on topic:....errm. What was the topic again?
