I got my GED and started attending community college. I am majoring in business/ accounting and make good grades, above 3.0. I plan on trasferring to a 4 year college. I am a sophmore now. Assuming I make the same grades and graduate, will I still have an opportunity for good jobs or will the ged be looked down upon compared to a hs diploma?

It's not where you start but where you finish! No employer will make a distinction between someone who transferred from a JC to whoever went to a 4-year university from the beginning. Your "real" GPA starts when you start at a 4-year university. Of course, you will need good grades to get there in the first place. In your job resume, you won't even mention your JC once you earn a Bachelor's degree. As a rule of thumb, your highest education is what counts, regardless of how you got there. It just tells you about how people may take a different path but arrive at the same destination.

Once you have the four year degree, I don't think anyone will be concerned with your lack of a high school diploma. Congratulations and good luck.
