Without a High School diploma, your opportunties with certainly be limited.  Most employers won't even consider someone without a HS diploma.  If you don't have a diploma, a GED would at least get you in the door.

I can see why you are going for a GED.  Take a bus to your local community college and ask them about their GED program.  They will work with you on it.\n\nAlso, there should be a wide assortment of books available in the library.

I think you can take a test to move on if you are younger than graduating age (an acceleration type exam).  Since you are 24, I think your only option is the GED.  Call your local adult education program to see for sure.

Most community colleges will accept a GED for admission. Look up your local colleges on the net and you should be able to find the requirements for entrance.

Depends how good you are in football. I think the California State University system would gladly take you if you're good, but you'll have to do community college before because you have a GED.

A GED is granted after you have completed night school. It is a way for adults to get a h.s. diploma. A h.s. diploma means you stayed in school 4 yrs. Good universities do not taken the GED  as seriously as the h.s. diploma. If your in h.s. and are thinking about dropping out. DON'T. If your an adult who needs a diploma it is a stepping stone for getting your life back on track.

You can't buy it, you have to take a few tests to be able to get a GED...  There is a fee assosiated with it i believe though...   Check at your local library, they should have more information on getting your GED for you...

If you get a GED and later decide to go back to high school and get a diploma, then I think you can.

yes it's possible. you'll just have to work harder than a person who has a degree. It looks like the business world is giving jobs to people with degrees over people who have experience. It seems like it should be the other way around, but it's not. You'll just have to settle for lower paying, labor intensive jobs. If at all possible try to get a degree. even if its just a 2-year associates at a community college, it would be better than just a ged or diploma. there's tons of grants and scholarships out there it'll be a little work to get it. but in the long run your hard work will pay off.

I have a GED, I did not complete high school for reasons that are not important.  My GED has allowed me to attain employment as well as a person wh graduated high school......my life would be much worse without it.

Yes you can (in most areas). Besides, you are pursuing education by getting your GED. You need parent permission (with a good reason) until you are 16.

You could take the GED. It will give you the credit you need and is recognized as the equivalent of a high school diploma.

This may sound weird.  \n\n If I were in your position, I would get the GED and work while I finished High School. and got a diploma. I never finished high school but got a GED, years after I began my family. I still have dreams of what I missed. I regret that I didn't stick with it back then. I am not in a position to for back to high school but you are. Go back for all the right reasons. \n\nYou obviously desire to better yourself. Kudos.

The GED was recently revamped about 2 years ago.  I've heard it is more difficult.  Try this website to get a feel for what you're in for.  They offer free classes on line that are designed to help people pass the GED\n\n\nfree-ed.net

Why do you want to do that?  Miss your friends as well your senior year like prom.  Plus there is no good things that come from dropping out of high school.  You will earn less than a high school graduted even with a GED.  Life is harder when you do. If you looked at today's job market, you need a degree to get a good paying job.  And some state and federal jobs require you to have to graducated from high school or a GED.  I would talk to a counseler from your school about this if you can't talk to your parents.  I know if my kid asked me if she or he wanted to drop out.  I would be VERY disapprove of such action.
