do you think a GED is as good as a high school diploma?

If you're going on to college, it will work just as well.\n\nA GED is a new beginning for many people.  It is the answer to the 'stuck in limbo' stigma that so many drop-outs face because they failed to finish high school for whatever reason.  It is their ticket to going on to college, becoming a cop, getting a job or any other scenario that comes up throughout ones life. It may not be the best start in life, but just remember, 'it isn't how you start that counts, it's how you finish.'\n\nSee that!  The following answer is living proof of my theory.

Well Curious it depends on the culinary school. Now there are some culinary schools with community colleges that do require a ged or hs diploma. But there are others that don't that are franchises of their own. But they cost more too.

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.

Well it depends on what you intend to do with your diploma. Some people who get a G.E.D. have already succeeded. If anybody tries to succeed, then that will bring the highest probability that they will succeed regardless of their educational "attainment".

wouldn't it be cheaper to take classes to get your GED at a community college?

NO. I hated school. so i dropped out this yr. Senior year of highschool. But i now regret it. I've found that it's very hard to get a job, or for an employer to even take a second look at you, if you don't have a highschool education. However i'm going to get my GED, and try and make something of my life. But what i've found out is that, school may suck and be boring at times, but in the long run, it's necessary. So what ever you're thinking stay in school.

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.

GED is an equivalency diploma in lieu of a 4 year HS diploma.

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.

I agree! Get your GED and then go to college. Why be a drop-out????

No, you shouldn't feel stupid. Your question is more literate than about 90% of what I've seen on here. I dropped out of high school and later got my GED. I ultimately went to university and graduated with a BA -- and I am nothing special. You can do this.\n\nThe first thing you need to do is get that GED. Most communities offer programs to help adults to prepare for and take their GED exams. I actually did mine through Catholic Charities, way back in the day (i.e., when I was still a practicing Catholic). But I should point out that you do NOT have to be Catholic to be eligible for such programs. You can also find information on the web, and even take practice exams prior to your test. I'll attach a few links. \n\nHold your head high, ok? Been there, done that, and I'm A-OK. You will be, too. Good luck!

Take the GED exam and you can graduate high school earlier.  That's what 2 of my friends did when they were 16 and hated school.  We all live in CA.

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.
