I was 16 during the last boom too. Economies go up and down every few years. Carpentry is great but it would be the best in the long run to finish school. You will only end up having to do it later in life. Plus you miss out on being a kid?? The debs and everything. Finish up?!
@Lennon Swan-Finneran That comment is a bit defunct don't you think? After what I wrote about missing out on your youth. Cash is great but be a kid for as long as you can. You never get those years back.
