tl;dr
she says that yea, it's possible that this may be a path for me but she told me to consider the fact that I might not get a job even with a college degree because I still have that GED. Also that I might want to change my major when I go into college and that I probably won't have that option if I had a GED over a HS Diploma. She told me that she really didn't recommend I drop out, instead she recommended I try an accelerated program but because It's not the beginning of the year she says that I should stay in high school for these 2 semesters. After that I would head over to the accelerated program but I really wouldn't be saving any time because I didn't start at the beginning of the year.

Also if I drop out to pursue a GED I would have to take classes for about 6 months I think she said?
Anyways, in the end she really like... brought me down, at least with my idea of being able to get out of high school sooner. She would constantly say "i would not recommend it" persistently. Feels bad man.
I just wish I had someone who has done what I'm trying to do and I mean specifically the field I want to go into. Cecil is the closest since he goes to Digipen for programming and graphic design I think? Even if it really is better for me to stay in high school it really doesn't FEEL like it.
This thread really is what I look forward to when I get home from school. I come home, Feel convinced that one way is right but don't go through with it yet because I still want to research things on my own in case, come home next day, Feel convinced the other way is right and the previous way is wrong for different reasons but I'm still not sure of what to pick because I get a lot of "well ti depends on your situation. So I'm not even sure if I should take any advice from anywhere since this could be life changing and everyone says "Well it depends on your situation". Is it really not possible for the GED route not to be optimal in any situation? This whole situation really makes me feel like I'm alone on the matter because no one seems to be sure about the situation and the closest seems to be me but I'm the one asking for guidance.
Because I still feel unsure I want to ask: Who could give me the best guidance?
OR
How would I go about finding out what to do in my situation.
Not what usually happens or what generally happens or even what might happen. Is this really base on luck that much? Of course at the moment I'm taking the route of High school diploma right now because GED route would not let me choose to change my mind. I'd like to think this is me being proactive. Thinking of of a way to speed things up, to cover my mistakes of messing up and some how salvaging time. If not that then at least me being lazy and trying to find a way out or something. I just want to make a decision and be satisfied with it which isn't really happening.
Is it that It's okay to drop out as long as I have the drive/motivation to pursue college
or that It's not okay to drop out because everything that happens after I drop out is based on luck? Which is it?
Wat do ;_;
None.
