I also have a #GED. Dropping out of high school isn’t always a the right thing to do, but it’s not always the wrong thing, either. In my case, it’s one of the life decisions I’m proudest I had the strength to make at a difficult time. And things turned out fine. @JacquelynGill

I don’t have a GED or high school diploma. I have a masters degree but could still technically be sent back to the 9th grade. I have that dream sometime.

The reality is a HS diploma isn’t needed for a college diploma, nor does one have to take SAT. Wish guidance counselors would give struggling students that info. Here’s someone that dropped HS at 14 to be a magician, went to Harvard, teaches at Stanford. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pers…

The only times it has ever been an issue were when I was getting a driver’s license the rules in TX were HS enrollment or have a GED and you had to be 17 to get a GED, and when I applied for an internship at the NSA my paperwork got stuck because high school wasn’t filled out.

That’s actually pretty good - I would have expected more friction, at least until you had a higher degree. I applied to a job in Germany last year and they wanted a copy of my high school diploma, which was the first time anyone had ever asked. I had to dig it it out of a box.
