Not true it’s a myth. The military will always accept a GED most people don’t have time to waste on flirting with h.s. Girls or boys or learning subjects that truly will not matter in a job force environment. A GED will open the door to further education in an accredited college. And it will open the door to job opportunity. H. S. Diploma is truly over rated and many times not even worth the struggle. I am a GED student who completed my AA in business administration and went on to start at a 4 yr. college for one year dropped out due to starting a family and a business of my own. To all those young/old people who wish to start what they could not complete go for your GED and do not let anyone discourage you that it will not mean much. In the end something completed is better than Nothing completed

My 3 siblings and I all got our GED’s. We make 50K, 56K, 63K and 70K per year. (That doesn’t include our spouses incomes either.) Don’t give up. Stay in school/college. Having a GED is not a bad thing. Just make sure to attend an accredited college afterward. Our mother died when we were all in our early teens and our dad was suffering from PTS (Vietnam). So technically we were all on our own. But with love and support either from family or friends, we did it! Don’t ever give up on your dreams. Ever!

And the cost of living is pretty decent here in Austin and Corpus Christi, Texas. And that didn’t include our spouses incomes either.

I have my GED and I’m in a high salaried position. Some of my high school friends who have their diploma are still flipping burgers. (I’m 43) When I decided I wanted a GED was because I felt I knew more and needed to get out into the world sooner. I have about 15 college credit hours in business mgt. I am in marketing and sales now. Having a high school diploma doesn’t make YOU more intellient than I. With an IQ of 126, I’m happy with that. Maybe people should graduate and get diplomas according to their IQ’s. Hey, now theres an idea…….. Oh, and by the way, my 3 siblings and I all got our GED’s and we make 56, 63, 70K and 50K (respectively) a year.

The students that come into my classroom and show up every day are the ones who make it. Whether you are studying on-line or going to class, simply work on it every day and you’ll get there!
