All jokes aside, it's important to get through high school, basically nobody will look your way if you don't finish HS. After that you should consider your options, college isn't for everyone, tech school/community college/apprenticeship etc, choose whatever is best for the career you want.

All the jokes I rip on you aside.
What did you do right out of HS? Genuinely curious cause you're a goated filmer. Always just assumed you went to film school or someshit.

I went to college right after HS, started studying business but 2 years into school I was filming and getting paid gigs etc so I switched to communication just to graduate basically.
My college degree doesn't do much for me, but my college experience is 100% why I'm where I am at, I didn't need to study anything but I met the right people and pursued something I enjoyed. This is doable without a college degree and I basically finished college for my family, I would likely do everything the same way if I were able to do it again.

That is sweet. I feel like my degree will be similar in the aspect that it is just going to teach me persistence and help me make connections for the future.
GarlicDaddyTake online courses, you can flip the script and ski 5 days per week, saving two for cramming.
while many don’t realize, it actually is possible to ski and get school work done in the same day, I did it a bunch the last two seasons over covid. you just have to be able to handle how annoying your homies can be when you don’t wanna rip the joint or shotgun a beer cuz you’ve got stuff to work on after you ski. And let me tell you, they can be ANNOYING

Ong save party’s for summer and when your shits done
Yes lol, go to school and get a real job, way more fun than being a burnout ski bum working a dead end ski town job dealing with rich assholes all day.

Reid69Are you at MSU? I'm thinking about applying once I become a older lad how is the skiing around it
It is the best school in the country for skiing no doubt. Bridger and big sky are top-ten ski areas in the U.S and Bozeman is close enough to Jackson, Grand Targhee, and red lodge for some weekends out of town. Crowds aren’t nearly as bad at either than they are at vail resorts.
It’s like math stuff where we would have to find the centroid of a given triangle and then we would find different lengths of the lines connecting them and move in the maze depending on that
Doing whatever you think is the right move is core. Definitely finish HS then figure it out. Don’t feel rushed either, look at your options and do whatever the fuck you want
As long as whatever that is puts you within 1 maybe 2 hours of a mountain
Reid69Are you at MSU? I'm thinking about applying once I become a older lad how is the skiing around it
If you do have any questions HMU i did undergrad, grad, and ran a program there. Skiing is absolutely too tier, we have Bridger Bowl and Big Sky close by.
We're starting to live in a world, at least in the US, to where a 2 to 4-year degree is the bare minimum requirement for a lot of jobs that also don't pay all too well depending on your industry, so not having a HS diploma would almost certainly doom you if you were to drop out. Don't do that shit. The game has changed entirely and you can't be like T-Hall and drop out at 14 to pursue skiing. He even eventually went back himself not to long ago to get his GED. And he was also a really good skier.
Don't think that college is the golden ticket though. Too many parents forcing their kids into the college pipeline along with the pressure from teachers and counselors. It may not be for you. Trades or other technical skills that teach you actual hands-on skills could be the way too.....And for what its worth, most ski bums that I know who are able to afford to ski and sustain that year-in and year-out all work trades, have their own businesses, and work all summer and fall and work very little in the winter.
I’m with @eheath on this one. Finish highschool if that’s up for question here. Ya know what’s not core? Being dumb as fuck when you’re 30 and all your friends have jobs.
As far as college goes - if you want to go to college, go. If you want to do something else do something else. Just do SOMETHING. ANYTHING. College isn’t the end all be all for success but not trying and not bettering yourself is a one way ticket to having a difficult life.
Oh and you people with your CA hate is nonsense. Last time I checked nice weather and good park is core.
Do it for the intellectual liberation. The world is more interesting when you have more lenses to look through.
Besides, "some college" or "college degree" are strongly correlated to just about every social outcome - wage, health, occupational hazard, marriage, homeownership, number of children, infant mortality, age of retirement...

Obviously the statistics have shown time and time again correlation between education and health, wage, age of retirement, ect. but I feel like the correlation between education and happiness on that graph is probably BS. like how the fuck do you measure happiness with a percentage on? I'm not buying that one, I think happiness is much more intrinsic and less related to extrinsic factors like education.

I'd say quality of life through employment options increases happiness quite a bit. I went to school later than most people so I've seen both sides of the coin. You get treated like absolute dog shit doing blue collared labor compared to even entry level white collar positions. The credentials from my education has increased my happiness significantly.
I think if anything college gives you options. Most people don't end up working in the field they majored in, but it helps to gain a wider perspective and opens up opportunities to try new things. Be strategic in your wandering though, student loans are no joke.
