This depends on your skill with computers. However, false diplomas are VERY easy to catch. It's better to be honest. Also, if you're doing this for a job, they can fire you for it WHENEVER THEY FIND OUT. This is regardless of how long you are employed by them.

A diploma refers to the physical paper that you receive after completing the requirements for a degree.  The word "diploma" comes from the Latin/Greek word meaning "folded in two," and is sometimes called a "parchment" in some English-speaking countries.  \n\nA degree refers to the whole spectrum of courses/tests/requirements that you must fulfill to be certified that you are well-versed in a specified field of knowledge.\n\nThis distinction is true in the United States.  In other English-speaking countries, a diploma may be a "degree" of lower academic standing.

It's EXTREMELY important to get a college degree if you want a decent job.  Today's job market is much more competitive than it has *ever* been.  Today, bachelor's degrees are the *standard* (whereas a generation ago, a high school diploma was) for a *decent* job.  For anything beyond a decent job (and by decent, I mean simply steady employment with enough pay to *just* get by), you'll need an advanced degree.

Probably not in a legal sense but don't belive in magic. There's no substitute for a real education. Any respectable employer will check what education you have.\nYou want a univesity diploma go to respectable university. Most big universities have distance learning programs if you don't have time for classes.

If you have the opportunity to get a true high school diploma, I would suggest that 1st.  it is usually looked upon in a much better light.  however if it is not an option, a G.E.D. is definitely better than nothing.

As far as I know, the Diploma is from an accredited high school, and can get you into any college. The GED is taken outside of the high school situation and in some instances cannot be used to get into college. Both are a certificate of proof of a particular level of learning.

You are a college graduate if you have a degree.  It doesn't matter if it's an associates , bachelor's, masters, whatever.

Any degree will help you get a secure job.  It shows you are dependable and willing to work towards something.  It also shows you can complete things once they get started :)

An AS in something specific, such as medical technology or automotive engineering can be a very useful degree.  An AS in something more general still shows you have better education than a high school graduate, and should help you compete with them for jobs that don't require a degree.  For example, you can probably compete for sales jobs where the product is pretty technical if you have an AS that's at all related to the product.  Of course, once you get the job you will only keep it if you can produce, but you can probably get it.

Learn the computer.  As a System and Network admin for my company there is only one way to get in with me.  Have a brain cell working and be confident.  Work as an intern and work for free.  Soak in all the knowledge you can.  Get 2 or 3 computers even if they are crap and network them so you can say you did it at home.  Play around with them learn and more than what the teachers are giving you.  You’re in school for computer that means you have access to pirated material learn the OS and the Server OS.  I just terminated a person who had a degree but I don't know how she got it because she did not know a thing.  I want someone is not afraid to mess up its part of the game.  Get in with help desk and work your way up the latter take chances and get with your school and see if they can help you out.  Feel free to contact me if you like. If your going to a technical school such as DeVry then they should have something for you.  If your going to a real Universaty then make sure you get your BS in computers.

Your career opportunities are vast compared to those without a college diploma.  Consider yourself fortunate if you have a college diploma, because you will be able to select from different careers regardless of the major you've graduated from.\n\nIn addition, college teaches you the discipline for the problems you will encounter in the real world.

i would say it would depend on what you want to your degree to apply to. computer science is a foundational degree that can apply to more careers and be a more powerful option whereas networking pushes you into a career area and can limit you in future career possibilities. both are good options, technology is a strong sector for employment. so there ya go, hope this helped, you can try monster.com and bls.gov for more advice.

The degree, or formal education, is your way of proving to the institute that you are qualified.  Without it, all you have is ideas.
