I'm just wondering if I'm expected to include the GED on my resume or not. It is necessary? Would it be lying not to?

Sixstring, I wouldn't judge other people...you don't know the circumstances for my quitting school. I wanted to stay in school but I had to raise a child by myself...

I guess it all depends if you've gone to college or not. If you have a college degree then the GED/HS diploma issue is a moot point (as you definitely need the latter to obtain the former). I don't have my HS diploma listed on my resume...

yes you should include all you school history do to the fact that you need it to get a job,company will give you a better chance at a good job with a GED or high school diploma. if you don't have it they more and like won't even give you a chance..

If you went further in your education I think that you should put that you have a GED. But if you didn't then you should just say your high school diploma it sounds a lot better.

List it as a GED. It's not a problem for most employers. GEDs carry weight these days and show that you were concerned enough to follow through with your education.

I would specify it as a GED. Most places don't care...a GED most likely means the same to employers as a full fledged diploma does.

I WOULDN'T. but then again , i received a high school diploma the old fashioned way , by staying in school and graduating with my class. I have a right to say this cause i'm tired of hearing about quitters getting everything handed to them.

No, because few organizations out there care about whether or not you have high school diploma.
