For those people, who don't want to go to college, the minimum wage in Florida goes up to $14 an hour in September. That is $29,120 a year for a high school drop out. I assume that most 17-20 year old people will start at $14 an hour and hopefully get raises as they gain experience in their job.
Most 17-20-year-olds who drop out of high school, won't get a full time job with benefits with no experience, and no GED. If they're lucky they'll find a part-time 20-hour-a-week job with no paid sick time and no health insurance.
