WHY get your GED?
Having your GED is showing your knowledge in core subjects, which signals to others that you are ready for the next steps in life.
It's a solid plan if you're thinking of stepping into the job market right away, but dropped out of high school. Many places require at least a high school diploma or equivalent, so a GED broadens your options.
Also, it's a green light for further education. Some colleges and training programs accept GED holders just like high school graduates, so it's a path to keep learning and exploring.
Beyond that, nailing your GED is a personal win. It's a confidence boost, a validation of your hard work, and it usually results in better income in the future.
Getting your GED is a gateway to many opportunities that might otherwise be out of reach.
