Maybe you should make some kind of agreement that if she/he wants to drop out than they have to pass the GED FIRST. i didn’t get ether until i was almost 30 years old and it stopped me from succeeding in all carriers i wanted. i couldn’t become anything that made enough money to support me let alone my children. you never know what the future will hold for them so its always better to be safe than sorry. the longer someone is out of school the harder it is to pass the GED and if they get it first than at any time they can go on to pressuring a carrier of there choice.
