I recently switched from being a college prof to running a GED program. Every major study suggests the GED is basically worthless, for example, 1% of people who get a GED, eventually get an Associate's degree (two-year program). Every study also indicates the effect on income is negligible to the point of being irrelevant. Yet I see GED professionals holding meaningless conferences and suggesting interventions that--looked at with an informed perspective--really seem close to psychotic. Is it because these teachers are totally clueless or because they are stuck in a profession where they have to legitimize themselves (even though they're not). P.S. After six months of this B.S., I'm quit. I have a Ph.D. but I think I know how the underclass sees life. I got kicked out of high school, and through years of self-searching figured out no one could help me but me. (The data lots of these organizations submit is fradulent, but that's another story).

To be a qualified pre-college instructor, your buddy will choose her GED and a few larger training besides. If she needs to commence a occupation, she needs to guard her training first.
