Question

Mike,

Have I got this straight. You go to VoTech and skip your senior year of high school. Just how is that going to affect you when you apply for a job. I thought you were going to finish high school first and then go to VoTech. Now I know this was a long time ago, but when I was working for the labs and companies, they would not hire anyone that didn't have a high school diploma, no matter what other schooling they had. But with a high school diploma and a diploma from any good Computer Tech school, they would hire that person over one with a degree from some college. Those degrees are only paper and what you make of them. I have 4 degrees and about 14 diplomas from various universities and tech schools that delt with computers. But one thing we always asked first, was do you have a high school diploma, though it had no bearing at all on wheather the person was qualified. A fewwho had skipped the last year of high school by taking the tests and showing they were capable of going on, were classified in a different way. So don't rush things as you are very young and just beginning. Do it right and in the end the dividends will be greater. Heck, you may even be able to pass Kristens spelling tests.
