Just a fun fact about me: I'm also a High School drop-out.
Dropped out of HS and into the university.

I'm glad I went through my programs, but I wounldn't recommend it for everyone...More education only matters some times for some things...it depends on what you want to do in life, and not just professionally...

Nut farming, by any chance?

Whatever you want me to be.
That makes me wonder about how many high school drop outs go on to be successful in higher education.

I am really jealous of anyone who can do math.
I had so much trouble with trig and calc, it about
killed me off.

I think we are all stuck with that for a lifetime.
A teacher friend says she gets those, that she is supposed
to teach, but does not know which room, what subject,
classes start in a few minutes and she is so embarrassed
to ask anyone.
I blame improper teaching, particularly not tailoring the course to students
with very different wants & ways of learning. A friend hated math in high
school, & dropped out. But he eventually learned math because it was useful
in his contracting business. On a lark, I taught him differential calculus, &
he caught on quickly. I've seen how you reason & post, & have no doubt that
you could not only learn it, but also enjoy it.
As far as the US understanding goes, I only have a High School diploma. I never want to set foot in a university.
Two years and two months of college. It was the wrong choice of study and I was stupid, carefree, and just plain stupid. I could have changed majors, but I was without a mentor.

Me either, I have a high school equivalency.
Took one year in college majoring in small Business management. Discontinued and went to trucking school.
More people drive trucks for a living in the U.S.A. than any other profession.
I came from a different world. I might have made the dean's list if I only went to school each day and did my godamn homework. When I thought about college my mind didn't venture anywhere beyond nursing, teacher, or secretary. Teaching was out because I knew I needed to talk, and I didn't do much talking. Secretary, not possible. So, it was nursing, but it seems I might have a bit of perfectionism, and so, I had to quit. There were two years of academics and that was fun, but then I had to learn to nurse. And, that lasted about an hour.

It's so over-regulated now I'd probably talk people out of it.
Well, to be fair, I was an exception: the rules were specifically waived to allow me to go to the university at age 15. I got my PhD in math at 23.
