Subject description: iso advice
 

K well I dropped out in like 11th grade with 10th grade credits. I think it' would be a big waste of time going back to school so I think I'm just going to get my GED. I'm just curious if anyone else took it or knows someone who took it. Is it hard? Do I need much studying? Or any other information you know about it. And to those of you who think about saying "Google it" can go burn in hell. Thank you have a nice day. Smile

edit: I dropped out ~ 2 years ago I'm now 19.

It's more of a personal thing.

That's why I said "Can I ask". ^^

Go back to school, plain and simple. It's HIGH SCHOOL...EVERYONE should be able to graduate high school.

Getting a decent education is key to having a decent life. Without a college degree or a university degree, it's very difficult to get any sort of decent paying job. Without a high school education, you can't do shit.

Sorry if I seem harsh, but you need to hear it : \

I can do fine with just my GED. I've heard it all before.

Do you have any future plans? If you pursue this GED, that is.

My mom would kill me. Then my aunt would have a couple swings too.
Then they would disown me.

I'm not going to say you're stupid; "good grades" don't reflect how smart you are, just how much of a slave you are to the system. But if you aren't going to at least finish high school, definitely pursue your GED (Why haven't you already?)

I'm not sure what you plan on doing with your life. My suggestion would be to go to the military and make that your career. There isn't many other options for you to be successful at.

It's not the education that matters to employers, even at college level. It is the sign that you are willing to have patience, and have your shit together enough to complete or finish things that matters more to employers.

So unless you plan to just be independantly wealthy, you need it.

I love when people think their only option is to go into the military. I will absolutely never take part in the murder or anyone. As for what I plan on doing, I'm a very big animal lover. I want and will spend the rest of my life saving animals. The military is for idiots and failures. (I'm sorry to anyone who is or was in it).

On another note, I know I need my GED and I am going to take it, I just wanted to see it from someone else's POV. Nice to know stuff before you jump right into it.

Here's my take on it: if you punk out now - if you let some stupid decision (yes, it was stupid, no matter the reason for doing it) govern how the rest of your life will play out, then you're going to be a second-class citizen until the end of your days. I doubt anything you could possibly have experienced in your short life could be worse than the life you're preparing for yourself if you don't suck it up and get your diploma.

This is not what I even asked, I'm not asking what I should do I'm asking what is the GED test like.

Idiots and failures? Means a lot coming from someone who can't even finish high school ffs. I don't care what "personal problems" you had that made it where you dropped out; you have a mental problem stopping you from wanting to work. Getting a GED isn't going to fix this; you're a lazy bum with a crap future ahead of you.

The military isn't your only option; its just wisely suggested.
