I'm hurt by the way our country has failed us! I didn't finish high school because both my parents were on drugs and I was a homeless teen with nowhere to go. I eventually got into the work place because I'm trying to still survive on my own. I'm 25 and now that I'm in a position to go to school I can't because I've forgotten arithmetic. I know money but fractions are harder to remember. Unless I can pass a math test I'm not even getting grants for school. It hurts because its not my fault I had fkn idiot parents that screwed my life up. Now picking up the peaceable to a life that was broken a long time ago is all I have left and college would've worked if they could've allowed me to take some college course and work on my math with a teacher. I wont be finished for two years anyway so why not make it easy for people like me. I didn't drop out because I wanted to I was fkn homeless :

Dropped out at 16. I'm 20 and I've gotten jobs without a diploma, all I do is lie about having my diploma. At the end of the day I've gotten more out of it  out  then sitting in a class of kids jumping around and yelling. Most jobs ask about the diploma but don't even look into it, from what I notice its more about a criminal record and work experience that doesn't get you the job. To each his own I guess.

The worst part is I DONT EVEN NEED TO KNWO THIS STUFF IN LIFE. sure up to highschool, but after that I NEVER NEED TO USE IT IN REAL LIFE. So why finish highschool? On, y to get a job that doesn’t even require any part of what you learned. All it shows is that you gratuated, and that apparently means your smarter? Helll no.

So you rather hire a lazy person with diploma or  somebody without a diploma but is a hard working  person..

I have so many students who are intelligent enough to complete their assignments, yet they choose instead to do nothing while in high school and then drop out and later have to attend adult education to at least get a GED. Sad & unfortunate.

[aprilsaavedra]

I haven't gotten either of these. I have a CDL A and make over a $100, 000 a year. My husband makes more.

[enriquesantos]

So should I got back to school and get my high school diploma or nah

[TheJimmybeatz]

diplomas are useless I have one and I'm unemployed, that was the biggest mistake of my life, if I could go back and redo it I would quit high school

[terrencehenry]

They say you could substitute job experience, for not having a diploma, and the companies can't discriminate. Some people can't obtain a diploma, because of learning disability which does not have a cure, so why not make other options, if one door closes another door opens.

[prettysteeve]

What a JOKE! The high school diploma is about as worthless as my worthless college diploma.

[lakt]

I'm glad & thankful that I got my high school diploma - I did struggle with 2 classes but passed with a D - other classes were fine got me C & up !
