BloodRed Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 Not sure of any online, but contact your local highschool. Most highschools will have a program where you can get your GED, if not, they can point you in the right direction. Adult career centers are another good place to look for a program.

Comebackkid Posted October 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 Ya that's what I was thinking. I thought since you can get a degree online that I could possibly get my GED Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KillJoy Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 Fuck it and lie? What the hell kind of job (with a high school education) is a job going to "research" on for a 24 year old? KillJoy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 Any college that he wants to get into will look into it, and require either a diploma or a GED. I only bring this up because in his first post, he mentioned that he would like to obtain a degree. Also, I do beleive the man said he didn't want to "Hear your face" regarding what he should have done, but didn't. If we were in high school, this is the point at which the teacher would use you as an example of poor reading comprehension, or at the very least, slovenly research.:gtfo: On topic, North Adult would probably be a good place to start.

If they do a background check, it's on there. I wouldn't even consider somebody without a GED or HS diploma for ANY position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You automatically get to take the actual test. I did this a couple years ago, it was the easiest thing ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillJoy Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 AI wouldn't even consider somebody without a GED or HS diploma for ANY position. ...but... would you ACTUALLY verify with the school that it is real if the applicant said they had a Diploma?

Comebackkid Posted October 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 I wouldn't even consider somebody without a GED or HS diploma for ANY position. This is funny because say u was a manager at automotive shop and u needed some one to run a department. So ya I don't have a degree or a education that proves I'm qualified to do the job but can show you that I can do the job and get it done right, you still wouldn't consider me? Hell if it's a really good paying job I'll work for free just to prove to u I can do that type of work. I'll admit there's alot of stuff I don't know about cars but I have the will to learn and I promise you I'll figure it out.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V8 Beast Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Its not about the degree as much as it is an outside judgement of the persons character, commitment, and level of responsibility. You could have done drugs, made babies, and passed by the skin of your teeth... All an employer sees is you are able to comprehend enough to finish school, you are not a quiter, and not enough of a trouble maker to get expelled. If you look back just exactly how much did you learn in school after you turned 16? I didnt learn anything useful after that point until I went to college... but then again I went to Brookhaven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouble Maker Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Not sure how to take that but I thought I sounded ok lol The only way one could read your post out loud and think they are ok is if they have an accent so bad that they whistle when they talk. That said, good luck in school and take some extra English classes while you are there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractor Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 50k+ per year is more about who you know then just having a degree. I guess it depends on what degree your thinking about. Besides a few of the professional degrees your gonna be sadly surprised when you finish school and make 35-40K with your degree starting out. I know you didn't act for my opinion, but its the internet so you get it anyway:-) Start a business if you want to better yourself. Degrees are becoming a dime a dozen.
