According to this article: http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/not-all-college-majors-are-created-equal/2012/01/12/gIQAfz4XzP_story.html
Unemployment for people with a degree is around 7-11% depending on major.
Unemployment for people with a high school diploma is 22%
Unemployment for people without a high school diploma is 31%
So not finishing high school is a terrible idea, irregardless of what the law says.
(Now whether there *should* be rules prohibiting people from doing stupid things is another question entirely. But we already have a number such laws and one more which keeps the population educated is fine by me.)
