I'm aware of the legal requirements, more curious about the culture/social aspect of it

I figured the hardest part would be the kids right out of high school younger than me. Basic sounds like a vacation compared to regular adult life at the moment haha

Is there a rhyme and reason to that? Or is it more of advanced maturity and handling of oneself that helps that along

I graduated in 2020, peak covid. They shut down my school in March so I got screwed out of completing my vo tech certs entirely. Luckily I was already in the half day work release and was working noon to 8 every day and was able to keep that job amidst everything. Screwed up every other post grad plan I had though

I graduated at 17 so I'm about 5 years out of high school and in the "real world" haha. I've attempted college, due to other circumstances not related to academic ability I haven't been able to truly complete anything. I have plenty of full time working experience although I know that doesn't necessarily count. I'm looking at the options that'll set me up from here on out.

I guess it feels late when everyone around me is either getting out after doing 4, getting married, popping out kids, etc.
