I ended up having to leave school my last semester of my senior year (was only taking 2 classes with credits I needed) due to family issues, then later went to get my GED. I was taking all AP classes, and lost a lot in leaving. I suffered from feeling like a loser, despite of my current success and higher education, especially since I only had a few months to graduate.

Sometimes circumstances simply don't allow you to continue. I don't remember how well I did on it, just that I passed. I didn't study, or prepare in any way really.

Good luck to you.

viper, GED = piece of pie.

Good luck, I just thought you weren't allowed to take college level classes without at least a equiv of a hs diploma, be it via ged or regular class. I can't imagine a job asking about your high school if you've already done college but congrats for wanting to clear it up anyway.

Remember, a GED is the minimum requirement for working at McDonalds. If the guy flipping 39¢ cheesburgers can do it, it can't be too tough.

After hearing of your past mis-adventures on the highway, you may also want to consider going back to take drivers ed.

<< Wow, is this for real, you can actully go on w/ life basicly normally w/o high school and just get your GED? >>





yes. I learned the hard way after wasting 6 years going through grades 6-12. Nobody gives a rat's arse what you completed.

Most community colleges will allow you to take classes without a high school/ equivalent degree if you do well on the placement exams.

That means you can finish up a BS or BA by the time everyone else finishes high school.

As long as you get the degree, it makes no difference how it was obtained. And if you're good at networking, no one will care what degrees you have if you can do the job.

Totally agree
