College you can argue, but dropping out of high school sounds weak in my mind.

I would think that you're so confident in yourself that you can drop out of school, your goal shouldn't be to work for someone else. Instead of catering your experience to create a quasi IB resume, you should look to start your own advisory shop or fund. If you were to land a SA role without a HS diploma or college credits, ANY mistake you make will weigh heavier on you. So if you're all "F the system!" then go do your own thing and try to compete against the big dogs.

 

If you don't have the ambition to finish high school, then you do not have the chops to make it in IB. If you hate "structure" or whatever you think it is about HS that you don't need it, then the structure and BS of banking isn't for you.
