Finish school..... I wish I would have dropped out of high school at 16 and started figuring out my own way instead of wasting another 6 years listening to idiots.

They don’t have to go to college, but finishing high school is a non negotiable. I’ve never met anyone who did well in life after dropping out of high school.
Thinking back to age 16, I can't imagine spending another 2-6 years in school after that age. Would have been extremely depressing. High school is an obsolete model today for intelligent, curious people. You can start a career or business and start compounding wealth, while still learning more valuable knowledge by researching things that interest you online in a weekend than you will in a year of high school.
