Ski Bum

I got very drunk tonight and was thinking with my friends... Should I drop high school and be a Ski Bum?
I got very good grades and some of my friends says I could be a school geek if I putted some efforts into it, but I don't know. Even If I was rich, I wouldn't be happy because I spent my best skiing years working. I'm 16 between.

Has anyone here thought of this??

No point in dropping out now. Having at least a high school degree is essential, especially if you ever decide in the future you want to take some college classes. Suck it up, stay in school and get your diploma and then go bum it up for awhile. You will never regret it, trust me.

dropping out is an absolutely horrible idea.  If you want to wait to go to college that's fine, but finish HS.  You'll get turned down from some decent earning ski bum jobs if you don't even have a HS diploma.  If you aren't committed to finishing HS good luck convincing people you're committed to working for them.  You're young, get drunk, get laid, have fun.  I was 22 when I moved to the mountains to ski, there's plenty of those "best years" don't be in a hurry

Finish HS at the very least, preferably college, then you can ski bum until you get tired of it and still have options.
