Well if you want to be an officer in the Marines you need a diploma and at least a high school diploma... otherwise your a grunt and only hope would be Master Sergent.

I try to explain this to my kids all the time
You go to school to learn how to learn. When your studying math, youre not just learning equations and formulas, youre training your brain to work out logical problems. In history (at least the way most teachers go about it) youre not so much learning about our past as your are working on your memorization skills. When you do a report it doesn't matter what the report is about, what matters is that you are able to organize your thoughts, put them together in a cohesive way, and get the material turned in on time.
Its all just to get those synapses firing, learn some social skills and prepare yourself for real-world problems. If you go out into the big wide world without a working brain you are in trouble.

In response to Creechuur's post, that is a good one, however, it pertains a LOT more to college than High School. HS to College, that is about as big of a step in "growing up" as it is from College to the real world.
