  • Since i dropped out of high school, I dont feel like im doing anything with my life..so I was thinking of getting a job. What kind could I get? Anything that doesnt have to do with ...show more

  • Answer:

    Pretty much fast food. I work at a resturant(not fast food) and we have a girl who dropped out at age 16 and started working there and for some reason our boss loves her and she pretty much is the manager of the morning crew. So you could get lucky like her. She is 20 now

well, do what you're good at. If you're good online, design webpages. other minimum wage jobs besides fastfood is retail or just common everyday places, like target. I know that sounds really demeaning and low, but honestly, you gotta start somewhere, and after you learn the ropes, getting a better second job will be much easier with prior job experience.

Seriously, the chance of going ANYWHERE in life if you don't go to college or university these days is VERY LOW. Seriously, go back to school. and graduate from college.

Why the hell would you drop out at 16? Bad idea. You'll never do anything with your life. It'll be hard to get even a part time job because being a drop out it makes you look like an uneducated quitter. Fast food or waitressing may be your only options.

You're going to be a waitress for the rest of your life so you might as well get started right now.

Yeah, it matters that you are a drop out. The only way I can see someone making money without even a high school diploma is to win the lottery or play the stock market.

Just about the only kind of employment you are going to find as a 16 year old highschool drop out is fast food. You made a big mistake by dropping out of school. I will graduate college with my Bachelor's degree next summer and I have been in the job market for about 12 years. It is very competetive, even with a college degree. You can still do quite a bit with a highschool diploma or a GED but you are pretty much out of luck without either of those two. If you want to be able to support yourself someday, and not be on welfare, you need to go back to school or at least get a GED.

I am afraid that all you have look forward to is a secession of near minimum wage menial jobs. It's never to late to return to school and prepare yourself for a career.

Take a continuing ed. course in something simple like as a nail technician (doing pedicures, manicures), cosmetician, hairstylist, etc. You don't need your high school education for it and you are doing something that is not in the fast food industry.
