This is an old thread, but that never slows me down, so let me say this. If just one young person that is considering dropping out sees this recent post, and gives the situation second thoughts, then it's worth it.
Construction huh? Let me tell you a little story, my son worked for a construction company part time while in college, after graduation even though it wasn't his field, they asked him to stay on in management. Keep in mind that it was a good company, and he was probably making more than a new graduate would in his chosen field. He was single, and lived in several wonderful locations in the US, was flown anywhere in the country once a month all expenses paid. Company vehicle, company cell phone, complete benefit package. He stayed with them three years, then decided to persue a postgraduate degree, because construction wasn't what he really wanted to do. Now he's facing 3 more years of near starvation in order to get that degree.
The point is you gotta do what you really like and feel comfortable doing. If at this young age you aren't sure what that is, then STAY in school, and give yourself a chance to find out. I'm not belitting construction, the same could apply to any field, but whatever you decide to do upon quitting school, you better like damn well...cause you're going to be doing it the rest of your life!
