"High school is not unpleasant work that needs to be done." Could you elaborate on that?

Hard to read...he's saying there are two categories within "unpleasant work": necessary, unnecessary. School is in the latter.

oh, I see. I agree, but my parents don't, and I can't support myself yet.

so prioritize. learn a set of valuable skills that will allow you to support yourself. then drop out.
