Answer 1

Can you say, "Would you like fries with that?"

You can get any job you are qualified to do.
You will get paid what the market will pay.


If I thought this was a serious question, I would offer advice.

You don't specify what you are studying so it's hard to say where you'll end up. Probably in retail stores such as Wal-Mart, Target or fast food restaurants. If this is okay with you, then you don't need input from this forum.

I'll assume you are studying Engineering. First of all, as most people have replied, a GED education will only get you low paying jobs in most areas including Engineering. That doesn't mean you won't get some decent pay raises along the way, but you'll eventually reach a limit where your educational background will not allow you to move further. This is acceptable for some people so only you can make that decision; if you are lucky to work with a good supervisor that sees some potential and encourages you to complete your education you'll have a better chance.

Secondly, let me ask you this and offer some advice, why are you willing to stop with a GED education? is that as far as your dreams go?, there are so many opportunities for higher education today that it doesn't seem possible that you would want to stop at this level. You don't have to be a braniac to enhance your knowldege in a field that you are really interested at, you only need to be educated and willing to work hard to suceed at it. Don't waste your time and your life wanting more, for every year you don't attend college, you waste another year which could have been closer to actually graduating!

I seriously urge you to stay in school and work if you have to, but do everything you can to continue your college education, if nothing else; at least 2 years. Of course, I do not know your situation but at least consider the advice!

Answer 3

I presume you are asking about technical type jobs since this is in the Engineering section. With just a GED, I would say the prospects are pretty low. If you have a GED and some type skills in a trade (electrician, mechanic, etc.), then the prospects are higher.

Still, it is usually a good idea to find a technical or community college that offers training in such skills (which could take up to 2yrs of school or more depending).

If you want to get into engineering, that would require require a bachelor's level degree at an ABET accredited school of higher learning. It depends on what you want to do (fixing vs designing things) and the amount of money and effort you want to invest.

As far as a GED with no higher degree or trade skill, there isn't all that much in the technical sector that is available. Maybe you could find an interesting manufacturing job that you would enjoy.

Answer 4

Difference in salary between high school dropouts and graduates/GEDs is not very large (~$3000 when looking at median incomes).

You may be able to avoid flipping burgers, but don't expect to rise above the ranks of 'receptionist' or the like without any college education. There has to be somebody at the bottom rung of the ladder, and sadly that person is probably you.
