Technically, they are the same. GEDs are probably prevalent among kids that were home-schooled. For your situation, it probably shouldn't matter a whole lot. Colleges can't discriminate, just because you got a GED. \n\nAs far as employment...not too sure about that. I doubt it though. The jobs you will be applying for aren't going to be the ones that require college degrees, so they probably won't care as long as you can do the job.

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.

Check to see if the tech school will accept an "Ability to Benefit test" instead of a GED or diploma. (Call the tech school you are interested in).  My former community college did.  If they don't you can try to take the GED test without a class beforehand, I believe.  \n\nGood luck :)

The GED is a series of five tests that assess the knowledge and skills expected of United States high school graduates in the following areas: \n\n\nInterpreting Literature and the Arts \nMathematics \nScience \nSocial Studies \nWriting \nWho is eligible to take the GED tests? \n\nTo take the GED, which is offered at one of our Prometric Testing Centers outside of the United States, you must be at least 17 years old.

The ASVAB is much much easier than the GED.\nDon't sweat it just do your best and if the GED was easy for you, you should do very well.\nAs some people know and some don't (ryan) 25 to 35% of people with their diplomas Can't pass the test for the General Equivalence Degree.\nI was shocked to find that out when I took mine as it was so easy.\n( I have both my diploma and my GED so I could graduate early)\nGood Luck and thanks in advance for your service.

I'll start with paraphrasing comedian Chris Rock: GED, Good Enough Degree. IMO ANY degree, GED, High School , Master's, states that the individual met the requirements. It certifies that person has conformed to measurements. In order to continue education, any individual would need to enroll in college. Without taking SAT or ACT, they could go to a community college and get an Associates Degree\nIt is important to have some diploma. Even if you were hiring people to dry cars at a car wash at minimum wage, all other things being equal, I would chose people with a GED over high school drop outs. The GED shows some discipline and ability to take directions.\nOn another note. Want to have fun at group? ask the former drug users 'How many grams are in a Kilo?'

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

There are limited slots available for GED holders, and they must score higher on the ASVAB than a regular High school graduate( and no, a GED is NOT equivalent in the eyes of the military) but it can be done.  Additionally, adding 15 100 level or above college credits to that GED will be equivalent to a HS diploma in the eyes of the military, opening up many more opportunties.  That's one semester at your local community college.

wouldn't that be something you should look into? You are making random people do your job. Look in the phonebook for GED classes and call the number provided. They will tell you if it's possible and when and where you can take it.

Most towns have a place where ged classes are held contact an area college they should be able to provide you with that information. there are ged books available at your local book store but I would recommend the classes and i think in most cases the classes are free.

Home schooled students do not, in most states, receive a "high school diploma" from any state agency.  That does not, however, negate the validity of the coursework they completed during their home studies.\n\nHome schooled students should NOT be required to take a GED.  Neither should students from unaccredited private schools.  These students should be required, however, to provide documentation (either a personal portfolio or a transcript)  to  the college they wish to enter that they have met the minimum entrance requirements.  Also, these students should also have to take the same entrance and placement exams as  students from public high schools and accredited private high schools.

Absolutely!  If you give up when you are this close, you will regret it the rest of your life.  Employers look differently on GED vs diploma.  Talk to your counselor and see what classes are available in summer school or adult school.

A diploma shows you have deadication and patance.  and it is much harder to get a deploma than pass the GED.  Just Passing the equivalent as a high F in high school.
