I think that you could get by with it if you luck up and get a decent job but I think if you graduate and then go to college you would get an even better job.

Of course, both my parents got their G.E.Ds and they both now have a Ph.D in psychology and went to the best of schools.

I assume GED is like a High School certificate? if it is than you should still be able to apply at Universities or Community Colleges. There is always a way, Dont get into you first choice of degree, work hard at another one and transfer.

At least Finish high school

a GED is basically a "you kinda showed up for some of it" degree.

Get your highschool diploma.

A higher education leads to 5x, 10x, 20x, more money.

Unless you have a number one album in the the works right now, get youjr degree.

You could, but I think people that settle with GED's are kinda lazy. That's just my opinion, and I don't mean to offend or anything, but really..why not just get the diploma? It's not that hard.

Of course you can. America is the land of opportunities. You can go on to college with a GED or even learn a skill and make plenty money.

It's beter to gradate high school though. That is one of the easiest things to do in life.

That's silly. There are plenty of reasons people get G.E.Ds. Some people don't fit into High School or get picked on and can't concentrate in school. Some people wish to get their G.E.D and start college early. Some people move too much and have to transfer schools constantly which hurts their grades. There are plenty of reasons. Laziness has nothing to do with it.
