Seriously, what high school did you go to? I took over a full-load every semester and it was infinitely easier than high school even with a 29hr/wk part time job (at 30 they had to give you healthcare). The classes were easier, there was less homework, I could get wasted every weekend. We still joke about how all our teachers would tell us "college is gonna be a lot harder than this." I used to involuntarily fall asleep in the shower because I was so tired in high school.

Bothell high school in the Seattle area. It was considered a good high school, I got two years of calculus and physics out of it. I went to the university of Washington after (also considered a good university, a bit hard to get into), and it was shockingly hard compared to my high school experience. I could easily do 40 hours a week during high school (although the last two months before I turned 18, Washington state instituted a new law that stopped me from working so much), while I discovered the need to cut back a lot in university.
