Highest Level of Education

The University of Errors.

High school. I was studying, but was too lazy to finish the BA degree. However, I have some plans to finish it this year or the next one - it's not easier to find a job, sometimes it's not even a better payed job, but it's easier and more convenient jobs that are available.

Not everywhere - in many European countries undergraduate studies still continue 4 yrs. But I believe the situation on job's market depends on country you live/work. I lived and worked some years in Southern Europe, where higher education is not so popular, so any graduated person has a big advantage when searching a job (I am not speaking about MSc or PhD, just BA ). But in my country (ok, we are strongly above European average figures for people with University education) according to official statistics 60% of yesterday school pupils continue their education in Universities. As a result, undergraduated candidates are absolute norm, and MSc or PhD is some advantage ( depending on job though).

Dropped out halfway through year 12 (not exactly sure what that's equivalent too in the North American system).
And honestly I don't have the motivation, nor see any reason why I should go back to get more education within the system.
 I'm currently happy studying sound engineering at home by myself and occasionally with the help of friends.

I should finish my master's degree next year, but I'm thinking about taking a break and doing something sensible instead.

We are kindred spirits I've also nearly finished my Art History & Theory graduate cycle...

You shouldn't have put still a student, whether or not you are working towards a Bachelor's doesn't change the fact that at this point you are still just a high school graduate.

I graduated high school and am currently in community college majoring in failure.

Doctorate in Costitutional Law.
