Dude, get your diploma at least. If you don't want to go to college, that is up to you, but you really should get your GED or HS diploma. You can test for the GED early, so you might wanna look into that route. Its one of those things to think about, if the business you are looking at folds, even if you go to work for the same type of company elsewhere, they will probably want you to have at least a GED. There are sucess stories however,
I used to work for a guy who didn't have anything. He started out laying floor (vinyl and wood) for another contractor. He got his liscense, and now he lays floor, owns 2 (I think) flooring stores, and has a buttload of money.
