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.
