One’s education is related to the sort of job opportunities that one is able to have. A high school diploma is required for many jobs and higher educational degrees. Without a high school education and diploma, many job opportunities are diminished. Those who do not have a high school diploma can cause one to be unemployed or have lower-paying jobs, which can lead to poverty. Living in poverty affects health in many ways. Factors that affect whether a student will graduate high school includes one’s home and school environment. Students who have parents who are not involved in their education are more likely to not finish high school, and schools that have higher crime rates are more likely to have higher dropout rates.
