School was ok for me, until high school that is, I was at the height of my 'geekdom", lol. I eventually dropped out,got my G.E.D., then went on to college, a four year college at that. I don't really think that if one quits education that it automatically means you fail, I just wasnt in to the "traditional" public education environment, and I sought and found what I think was a very good alternative. So there ya go.

School is a dynamic thing when it comes to development and education.
Yes it is lacking in all areas without a doubt, but it is also a key part of the process of both education and social skills.
Want to drop out, go Right ahead and in 10 or so years you will be right back at it thinking about how you wish you had completed it to begin with.
$50.00 and hour is great money, though do you pay taxes on it?
Also is it a life time occupation?
Will you need on going education and certification?
Will college come into play? Because if it does chances are you will not be accepted into school without first attaining a HS Diploma or the equivalent.
Do you have a clue how many College graduates and people with years of experience will be looking to take that job from you?
That include mowing lawns, detailing cars, flipping burgers, bagging groceries at the local stores, tending bar, construction, sweeping floors or any job you can think of to name.
If you happen to work for yourself, how will you compete when someone else who works for them self decides to drop their prices to take your customers and brings a skill set years beyond yours to the table to work with?
What do you do when your told that they have decided to move the services you provide in house and there is a desire to have you work for them but you need to have at least an BS in the field?
Besides, don't you think completing school is the beginning to forming the habit of success in completing the rest of your life and what comes before you?
One thing to never forget no matter what you'd decide...
"I quit never will and I can't never did, they sit in food stamp lines and step off of high places or in front of trucks..."
Just some thoughts...

I dropped out of University before graduating when I was 20. When I went back at 40 it was a whole lot more difficult to manage with a family, mortgage and stuff.
ChasUGC has it right. Unfortunately you pretty much need to grow up before you believe it.
