I am currently a Freshman in high-school, and I am taking Geography; Geometry; Biology; and English along with a few electives. Out of all of my eight classes, only one of them could be considered challenging to me, and even then it is a class I know will not help me with the career I wish to pursue.
I feel as if I am but wasting time trying to drag my self through the last four years of the system before i actually get to go out into the world and do something.
As for my choice of career. I am intent on learning old-style blacksmith techniques and then moving up to using a bit of technology to help me. I have been to different Renaissance festivals all my life, and this is something I am ready to devote my life to.

Any Advice?
Yes. You need to make a distinction between your hobby, your career, and your education. A hobby is something you learn about on your own and when you're good at it, it may bring you some rewards. (Do blacksmiths have a health insurance plan?). Your career is something you do, which hopefully you enjoy, that puts meat and potatoes on the table, a truck in the driveway, and a roof over your head. Your education is the process that teaches you how to be a good person, a contributing citizen, and one who can make good decisions that distinguish your toys from your tools. We are all passionate about our fun, but you must learn to put them all in the right perspective. Give the system a chance, stick with it, and see if I'm not right. Good luck to youl..

Curiously, they know it and they dont want to grow up. How else will they know what it feels like to be on the other side?

That depends.
How many people do you know who make their living from something that actually "challenges" their brain?
I would suggest plumbing, becoming an electrician, or a car mechanic if your only interest is making a decent income. The technology for the first two is pretty basic---but they make a good living.
If you want a recession proof industry...you might consider becoming a mortician...people will always be dying.
But I am curious...what does interest you? You seem pretty certain about what doesn't...I wondered if you'd given it any actual thought. Black smithing might be fun...but I am not sure it will provide a stable income.
Good luck.
You should take more classes relating to your choice of career. From experience, school was so boring because every one of my classes didn't have anything to do with my career path so the next school year I chose more classes that interested me. Which made school more tolerable.
