Would you have been hired at your present job without a HS diploma?
Yes. I started work in the graphic arts industry before graduating from high school.

Wow, I joined the Navy right out of HS. THEY, like just about everybody else, required a HS diploma. Seems your a one percentile kinda guy - IOW, NOBODY gets a job without a HS diploma, and it's been that way for quite some time. Job training is pretty much what that 'diploma mill' is all about.

Also, why didn't you seek out and work with other students who were working on those 'science and electronics projects'?
There were none in my neighborhood, except one who I started building a telephone with but he soon moved away or something. My parents did on occasion find a summer camp with rocketry and Math Magic, or other academic class I could attend like one where we built radios but they were rare. |
Gee, I had to travel 15 miles for the annual rocketry festival, and 9 miles for my HS (semi-VoTech) classes in electronics. Good thing I had good parents, but I also stood straight As in my science and math courses. I also learned how to critically think in HS - something YOU need to start doing; as we've pointed out time and time again.
Stop making excuses and get on the ball, Goo Goo! Otherwise, nobody in here will take you seriously . . . and THAT'S exactly what you deserve.
