Would you hire a GED holder?

<p>No, I am not planning to drop out of high school.</p>

<p>This is just a “what if” scenario.</p>

<p>Let’s say the high school dropout did not fit the stereotype.</p>

<p>Let’s say he/she was an A student and kind person who ONLY dropped out of high school due to family problems, whether that would be abuse from parents that caused depression or family poverty. </p>

<p>After dropping out, he/she worked his/her butt off to get the highest GED score possible. Now he/she has received a GED with a high score, and is planning on going to community college before transferring to university. </p>

<p>Would you still look down on him/her? Or would you look past this and focus more on his/her abilities, dedication, and personality? </p>

<p>Once you have a college diploma or are in college, it doesn’t matter that you don’t have a high school diploma. Highest level of degree is what usually matters, so if you have a bachelor’s, nobody cares whether you have a high school diploma.</p>

<p>Also, this is in the wrong section.</p>

<p>Yeah, I didn’t know where else to go. Sorry…</p>
