Finally got my G.E.D!!!
I dropped out in 12th grade to chase ----- and make money.After 12 years of doing great in life without a high school diploma,I went and took my GED test 2 weeks ago.Well today I got the call that I passed it!I was kind of stressing couse I took it all at once and I was dead tired(mentally) by hour #5(8 hour test).This meens alot to me because now I'll be the only beaner in my family with a diploma.
I have'nt decided if I'm going to C.C or applying for a few killer jobs that I've found on line.All I know is that I'm going nuts at home :S :1 |

Situations like that are proof that sometimes college isn't the right answer.
I mean, yeah definitely get the high school diploma or G.E.D. but seriously experience like that is worth a lot more to some employers than a piece of paper saying you're smart. Not to downplay the positive aspects of college, just that some people do it their own way and are just as successful. |
Re: Finally got my G.E.D!!!
College is the right answer, unless you like working with your hands. I am a Service Tech. I like the work. Somedays I wish I had a desk job like my wife but I know it would bore me to death. Tradesmen are becoming higher paid by the day. Most kids don't want to work with their hands so good help is very hard to find.
