So if you have no money to pay for college and you've been unable to find a job, you have to join the army? I love how people act as if trying to make people successful as opposed to letting them laze around at their parent's house or work minimum wage is a bad thing. "Da military" doesn't just involve going overseas and shooting you know. There's a wide array of military jobs, including office work. And getting into college is not a challenge at all if you give a damn. Loans are a thing, plus financial aid, scholarships, etc. Not all colleges cost a nickle and a dime either. My tuition is about 12k, but a community college or smaller school would obviously be much cheaper. There's hella options available for people. I think this is a good idea, it's just a matter of how well it will work in practice. --- Nintendo Switch Friend Code: SW-3032-7898-9500 http://psnprofiles.com/Terraforce777 http://miiverse.nintendo.net/users/Rayquaza487 ...

This should be nationwide in fact, it doesn't go far enough, they should have to do all of this AND have a valid driver's licence by their junior year,a passport and mandatory class for living on their own with apartment landlords offering plans to the schools for some kind of arrangement. You don't any of that, you don't even get to go to senior year.

So what if it's some 17/18 year old who has a part time job at McDonalds or a summer job for a landscaping, pool, amusement park etc. and is hoping to get into, say the post office but doesn't want to take the PO test until a couple of months after he/she graduates. Would they get a diploma? They have a job and a plan but it doesn't fall under the choices listed.

This sounds great.
You have to have a plan after you graduate. The title is a bit misleading, because you can also go to a community college or a trade school. But this is a great way to motivate students, and will lead to a lot of future successes that might have just dropped out. Hopefully they emphasize the trade school and internship options, because those will lead to the most jobs. --- Shenmue II = best game of all time Shenmue = 2nd best game of all time ...

Force a bunch of young, impressionable teens to make potentially life-ruining decisions before they even get out of school and figure out who they are.
Sounds like a great idea, champ. College is one thing. But choosing between unpaid labor and going overseas to die for your country if you can't afford college/aren't ready for college? Lol --- I have nothing else to say ... Copied to Clipboard!

This sounds great. In theory. In practice it will be a colossal failure.
