In most states you cannot drop out of high school without your parents consent before you reach a certain age which varies from state to state. Some states also require that you fill out withdrawal forms so that your decision to discontinue your schooling is duly recorded. If you are finding that school is difficult for you either because you are bored or disinterested or because you simply don't like the structure, you might want to look into some alternate methods of getting your education. Home-schooling is an option. Many cities also have more unstructured forms of 'school' where a person is allowed to study at their own pace with very little supervision. Dropping out of school with no plan for continuing your education is not the best idea so just give it a lot of thought before you decide!! This is not a sufficient answer of what my question was, it does not even come close to stating what the average income is for a high school dropout.

you make about $2.00 an hour if that.

Not a lot.....that's why you should get your education because if you don't you wont make enough money to survive. That's when people start braking the law to make some extra money and that's how they end up in jail. Not because their bad people but because they cant get a job be cause they didnt get a high school deploma.

Nationally the average is $12,184.00 a year. High School dgrees are at $15.00 an hour average (or $33,000.00 annually) Associates degrees go to $19 to $26 an hour or nearly $50K a year.

Currently dropouts are not doing as well as these averages would suggest. I have high school degrees as a requirement to clean horse stalls. McDonald's requires them. Even the military needs one. Do not drop out. It is over one million dollars over your expected life! What would you do with a million dollars? I will bet throwing it away for a year of fun is not the choice!

That would be very difficult to determine. The unemployment rate of high school drop outs is over 50% and getting worse in the current economy. So if you include all high school drop outs it is probably going to be somewhere around $6,000 a year, well below the poverty level.
