They're just as good as each other, if we're talking about getting a job. All jobs ask for (unless you need a higher degree) is High School Diploma/GED. They can't refuse you because you have your GED and not Diploma, because the State offers the GED as a substitute. Hope that helps!

I understand that, but my point is do ppl look at it differently cuz for me all i had to do was take the pretest, and pay for the real test, and i passed. what im trying to say is that i think ppl see ged as the easy way out, and high school diploma as perservereance, that u got through high school. Cuz i HAD rpt HAD to drop out it was WAY to much drama for me, and I already had twin toddlers by then.

I was real close to dropping out of school; couldn't stand the authority, but I kept telling myself that I had to get that diploma. No one has ever asked to see it. There is always a box to check on job applications referring to your level of education, but I've never had to produce it.

I was homeschooled, so I got a GED. Didn't stop me from getting into college or getting a job.
