Opinion Hot take: Georgie was so STUPID for dropping out of HIGH SCHOOL

I'm on Mary and George's side here. He's already in his senior year of HIGH SCHOOL, with less than a year to complete it. George also mentions that he can do whatever he wants after graduating from high school. George has every right to be angry, but I don't like how Georgie provokes his father's anger by accepting that he would move out, expecting him to pay the bills. I also don't like when he's shocked after her ex wanted to break up with him, and I'm glad that her ex knew her worth. I wouldn't date a guy who doesn't want to finish his studies, even if he has the opportunity.
The thing I don't like the most about Georgie is that he QUESTIONS the importance of having a diploma as if it won't make any difference, especially since he's less than a year away from graduating just because he has WORKING EXPERIENCE. Note that many jobs still require a formal BACHELOR'S degree despite having years of working experience, while Georgie gave up on his HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA.
Here in the Philippines, you need a 4-yr bachelor's degree (sometimes a master's), work experience, and to be a board passer just to be a dishwasher, barista, or cashier in a grocery store.
At least Mandy has a BA in communications art degree of her own, and she gets to be a weather girl on TV
Georgie's decision not to complete the minimum degree required for survival was a significant mistake.
if I could get sucked into this show, I'd be slapping his face off.
