The gamble of not having a high school degree.

• The consequences of dropping out of high school nowadays are especially severe.One of the most common jobs for high school dropouts,McDonald's,is said to be considering employees to require a high school degree.
  It is hard to understand the relationship between a formal education and flipping burgers but if these are signs of change then the future looks as bleak as the bowels of a pit.Several of my teachers even admit that having
  a college degree is like having a high school degree 20 years ago.The importance of the high school degree has depreciated to the point where it is comparable to having the education of a high school dropout in the 80's.This leaves the dropout with a future of much hardship to look forward to.With the middle class
  on the verge of being non existent and value of a college degree decreasing.One would say not having a high school diploma is comparable to an ex cons' record.The consequences of not having this sheet of paper
  that says you have completed your education isn't something most people with reasonable sense would want to experience.
