Sodapop enjoys his job at the gas station, which is where he's been working since he dropped out of high school. However, his younger brother, Ponyboy, is none too pleased about this decision. For Pony, dropping out of school is a source of shame for the family. He associates dropouts with dumb-looking hoodlums wandering the streets and breaking lights. (This is somewhat ironic when you consider that it's Ponyboy, not Sodapop, who's always getting into trouble.)
What's more, Ponyboy feels kind of guilty that his brother is working hard to keep the family's head above water while he's still at school and unable to help out financially.
But none of that changes the fact that Sodapop does genuinely like his job. Besides, he was getting absolutely nothing out of his education, so he didn't think there was much point staying in school.
