I would say it would be easier to just sign up and take the ged in your area.  if you're worried you won't remember all the math and stuff you need to know, then your local bookstore should have a ged prep book.  that way you can brush up without having to actually go to the ged classes.  i'm not sure how the at home high school diplomas work, but each state has different requirements for high school graduation so i wouldn't trust it.  if you are thinking of going onto a community or technical college neither one would give you an advantage over another and at a 4 yr school the ged might actually help you qualify for more schloarships for "non traditional" students.  good luck

Depends were but I think it's a national deal\n\nYou can go as early as 18 or 19, you don't need a 4 year diploma in criminal justice, in fact DON'T get a diploma in criminal justice get it in something else because a degree in that will get you nothing. Get a backup like a Business degree because in case you get hurt on the job and you can't continue being an officer, you always have your degree to fall back on.\n\nYou do NEED a high school diploma, and be inexcellent physical shape\nNow if you go into the academy at say 19, the departments still won't hire you till you're 20 1/2 or 21, and they prefer educated people or people with life experience, or military

When you say adult school, do you mean to get your GED? cause there is a big difference between a GED and High school diploma. Finishing highschool would definitely be a plus, but not for everyone. My brother just got so far behind cause of my sister, that he doesn't feel comfortable in school anymore. Now he's going for his GED and I think he's doing the right thing.

A lot of communities have vocational,technical training centers. No high school diploma needed. But I think almost all of them offer classes if you do want your diploma.\nIf you're not a graduate, the courses are usually free,too. At least they are here.\nThey can help point you in the direction you need to go. Good luck.

I would take a GED as less than a High School Diploma. Why? Easy...if you couldn't commit to going to High School for four years, what makes me think you would do the same for my company?\n\nHigh School isn't about classes, it is about survival. You learn how to deal with all sorts of people. Those I know who "ditched out" or "were done with that as soon as they were 17" weren't exactly reputable people. \n\nPregnant teens are different, mainly because they are typically forced out of the public school system. That is wrong and different. However, everyone else should keep their rear end in school.\n\n\nNOW if you are looking to go to University, it is up to the University as to what their opinion is. Frankly, employers don't care after University about High School all too much. What is more important is the University Degree...so if you are doing that, awesome...\n\nBut, if you just keep looking at the GED as an excuse to drop out and you aren't looking for a University Education as of now....stay in school.

Go to college and see the school counselor that can help you take all the right courses to get the credentials you need.

High School Diploma, you can do it. Don't think negative always have a positive attitude and you will come out on top. Finishing High School is something you will only get to do once and it's a great memory.

At 16 you can drop out. At times we're a tough group here. You got married, nice to hear some people take responsibility for their actions. Try and finish school by correspondence or whatever, a diploma is still important. All the best.

I think you can take a test to move on if you are younger than graduating age (an acceleration type exam).  Since you are 24, I think your only option is the GED.  Call your local adult education program to see for sure.

Highshool correspondence programs do work well for those who do  have jobs and can not fit in more traditional means of getting GED. If you enroll today they will not even have your paperwork started by tomarrow. So no

This depends on your age and how much of your high school education you finished.  Be wary of places that offer diplomas on line for high school or college.  Check to make sure they are accredited , otherwise your diploma will be worthless to the colleges.  The quickest way is to ask your local college if they would accept a diploma from that place.  They do know who is accredited and who isnt.  You can study for your GED at home, but the test is taken on site.  Check with your local library, or high school often they offer GED tutoring after school and at night.  If you are under 21 and only have a few classes to complete you may be able to finish them at the high school as a part time student.  Some community colleges have high school classes as opposed to GED.

Nope. You only get a "high school" diploma from a high school. You can get a GED on your own.

A peron of any age can go to college, as long as you have graduated high school or gotten a GED. This means you can be as old as You'd like or as young, assuming you meet these requirements. It is generally accepted that college is for people 18 and older as that is the estimated age of high chool graduation. Though there are some schools where if you are "gifted" they will accept you before you finish high school. I can't think of the name off hand, but I few years ago I was invited to apply to one. Hope that answers the question.
