Cool. Actually, I'm not sure if those "young adults" really know what's going to hit them later. Reality is always "down the road" somewhere. They think that they'll go back to school someday and get that great job, or win the lottery, or inherit money from a relative they've never heard of. Then they'll hit 40, sitting at a barstool and wondering where the years went. Bummer. D&D. Words are Groovy, or Can Be.
Are there even any jobs these days that a dropout couldnt get, but a high school grad could? Not saying dropping out is justified, but I have a feeling it doesn't really affect them economicly (assuming they aren't going to college).
