GED

[Satovan]

Hey, I kinda fucked up through a good portion of my life and ended up with a grocery store clerk job, no drivers license, and no high school diploma. And now after fucking around and having my fun I decided it's time for me to start going to where I should be in life and getting my shit together. I was wondering if anyone here has ever taken GED tests or courses and you can tell me what I should be prepared for and what they are like.

GED good enough degree i got one and i must say the test is really simple. where i was you had to have a fulltime job for 3 months as a requirement along with the class once a week. its your basic 4 portion test to make sure u have general comprehension in writing, math, science and social studies.

I've heard it's really easy. If you get your GED I really suggest going to a community college. That way you can at least get an associate's degree, and then if you want a four year degree you can transfer to a university and they only look at your community college records, and ignore your high school shit, so then it won't matter that you got a GED, it will be easy to transfer into a university. In Texas, if you have a certain number of college hours you are pretty much guaranteed admission to all the state universites.

If you don't want to get a college degree, you can at least get a technical certification and still get a good job. Avoid technical school like ITT tech and shit like that because most of the time you can get the same certifications and take the same classes at a community college for a lot less money.

Good luck.

I took it, then went to trade school, (got cosmetology license, hated doing it) then went to college. It's easy and if your poor you can get grants and stuff to go, once you get some grants all you have to do is get good grades and you can get scholarships, then it is all gravy. I'm glad to see you moving up, the world has enough stockboys.

good to see ya thinking about it
ive had lots of friends get GED's they all tell me it was quiet easy just boring
and education is a ticket out of labor jobs.
its worth only something if you use it though.
good luck and i wish ya the best

Ya didnt you used to live in VA? because that sounds exactley how my GED was..i had to have a full time job too. But ya its real easy test...i dropped out of highschool when i was 17 and got my GED now im in community college and going to transfer to a college sooner or latr. The Classes really help you pass.

[rhino44]

yeah i lived in afton about 20 min west of charlottesville. i did the same thing when i was 17. everybody was like your an idiot u waited till your last year to drop out and i just sayed fuckem i wasnt tryin to stay another year.

[OreO]

haha thats the same shit with me....people were like "just finish you almost done" but i didnt wanna wait another year...i was already gonna goto community college...i just kinda skipped the highschool process

[Satovan]

My aunt took it and she told me that in Wisconsin where I live you have the option of just taking the tests straight up and if you pass you're good to go. I am most likely going to try to go to college or something after I get it because like SomeDude said, if you get a higher degree, no one will notice the GED.

[phunkybrewster]

i think the best thing to do is get one of those big practice books from barnes & nobles that comes with a computer cd--study the book and then take all the practice tests on the cd-rom. i did that for my grad school exams and almost got a perfect score. good luck!!!!

A friend of mine got his GED and now he's in law school......if your going to get your GED you might as well go to college. Because the only thing a GED is going to get you is another stock boy job...If you really want to make financial difference in you life you need some kind of degree or certificate. I know it sucks I don't like it any more than you....but you gotta do what you gotta do. Borrow the money if you have to but get it done....I agree with going to a community college/junior college for two years first. That way it will be easier/cheaper/ and if you bust your ass you can boost your GPA way up there so you will have no problem getting into a university and getting scholarships.......and hello....they do lots of parting in college, it will be fun if you work hard at it.
