With the paramount success of shows like Teen Mom, 16 & Pregnant and Jersey Shore, it’s no wonder MTV is in the market for another big reality hit.

MTV execs are currently combing the country for their next big 15 minutes of fame-ers – high school dropouts!

MTV Networks is casting ex-high schoolers in Chicago that have decided to discontinue their education. We’re looking for recent non-grads who appear to be 16-20 years old and live in the Chicago area. You should be open to new experiences, outgoing, and up for a potentially life-changing challenge. And you should definitely be comfortable sharing your story on camera.

Though MTV hasn’t officially confirmed production of the new show, the network is currently running a casting call at a Chicago-area university.

How I wish I could be a fly on that wall…

One reality tv hopeful in attendance at the casting call was 18-year-old Maria Alvarez, who dropped out of high school several months ago when family troubles caused her to start skipping classes.  According to Alvarez, “I thought, ‘What am I doing in school?…I didn’t care.”

As an avid MTV reality TV viewer, the 18-year-old saw the casting call as her big opportunity,

I thought it was awesome. I’ve always wanted to be famous, as an actor or a model or something… If I come out on TV and I get my GED and diploma, that’s the best combination you could ever imagine.

Or you could go on TV, get stalked by the paparazzi until you’re outside your mind, never get your GED and end up being attacked by a crazy fan at a gas station!

But yeah, that sounds way easier than night school.
