High school drop-outs, where are you now?

I left high school at the end of year twelve and, through a surprising and hard turn of events, ended up in quite an academic and “prestigious” job. I think New Zealand is quite special in the sense that a story like mine is possible here.

…Saying that, I often feel enormous impostor syndrome. The fact I left school early still massively gets me down.

How did things turn out for the other people who left? Does it still affect your day-to-day life at all? Success stories but also not-so-success stories welcome, if you’re willing to share.
