Best Answer

If you drop out of high school at the age of 16 you are still legally able to get a driver's license as long as you pass the required drivers education classes. You can also get a job legally as well. Many employers may ask for a signed form from either a principal or school counselor stating that you have dropped out and are no longer a student. This is because there are child labor laws that federally state a student is not allowed to work more than 15 hours a week if it's during an academic year. This, of course, does not include summer vacation when students can work up to 40 hours a week.

Like another person said...

Many employers will not want to hire a 16-year-old who has dropped out of high school.

You can expect to make about $8 an hour for the rest of your life, which will put you below the poverty level. Do yourself and your future the biggest favor of your life: Spend a few years getting a decent education so you can enjoy a fulfilling lifetime.

Probably not. Each state has an age of compulsory attendance. Up until that age, you cannot drop out. If you do not attend school, you can be charged with truancy. You will be forced to attend school, suffer other punishments, and your parents may have legal trouble as well. While the age varies from state to state, it is normally around 16.
