And if you're not old enough to have done either yet, then this question really doesn't apply to you.

Nope, no HS Diploma, I was busy having a baby. But I did go back and get my GED several years later.
The funny part is that I lied on a job application (way back in 1984) and said I had graduated. No big deal, nobody checks. But then about 5 years later they were screaning me for a Secret Security Clearance and I was scared to death they'd find out and fire me. They didn't find out. Not much of a check!

I got pregnant and got married in high school so I got my GED. My advice is Please! Please! Please! Finish School. It is so much harder to find a job with just your GED, It doesn't matter if you go to a trade school ( I went to 2) or college after you get it. The companies still look at the fact that you have a DIPLOMA instead of a GED. They think that a GED is for people who can't finish anything when there could have been special circumstances. So if your friends, family, and perfect strangers are telling you to do the same thing then please think about it before doing it.
Sorry, I just get on a band wagon when it comes to education because of what happened to me. I know that it was my fault. STILL STAY IN SCHOOL. There is always someone who can help.

I am so glad I dropped out, but I wish I'd done it earlier. I got a high school equivalence diploma and even an AS degree. Maybe I could have stuck it out, but who needs another high school graduate that can't read or write? I am proud to say I did not graduate form Sandpoint High School. I have a real high school diploma.

High school grad many years ago ... but not that long ago. I look the same but there is a lot of water that has passed under the bridge.
