I flunked 11th grade and never finished high school & I am definitely proud of it, but I have to say the pressure to go back and graduate was immense. I saw firsthand the indoctrination and brainwashing among my family members and relatives when it comes to education degrees.
It didn't matter that I made more money than all my friends, that I loved my job or that I was actually of value to the world - no, I was the high school dropout...and that was apparently bad.
