A GED or General Education Diploma

Friday, April 30th, 2010



A GED or General Education Diploma is sometimes also called a General Education Development program. The basis for the GED is a series of tests to determine if a minimum level of proficiency has been reached. These are not difficult tests but do require a wide breadth of understanding on a variety of subjects.

Today, distance learning may be the option most preferred. It is an affordable way to work toward a GED, and determine the level of skills necessary to pass the GED exams. Unfortunately, there are companies that offer shortcuts to almost every kind of education. Promises of college degrees, doctorates, and even high school diplomas are all available for the right price. These companies are in the business of selling shortcuts that are really bogus credentials. Fake diplomas and worthless transcripts are a growth industry with the explosion of information found on the Internet.

In most cases, the GED — the term for General Education Development credential — is the only official ‘diploma’ that has value and is meaningful for adults who never completed their high school education. There are exceptions. Many people have been duped or misled with the promises of phony certifications. These diploma mills are nothing more than a printer, some software and a marketing plan.

The reality is however, that many businesses do not check into the background of a person to that extent. This is especially true of jobs in the lower 50% of the general pay scale. Recently there have been a rash of high level business president, vice-president types who have been found to have used phony credentials to obtain their positions. If large corporations paying huge salaries to these types of people don’t check them out, how deeply do you think they will check your his troy?

Still, the future is anything but set. Although it’s possible to get away without having solid educational proof, the future may be much different. In a few years, it may be possible for companies to check historical records online and then the phone degrees will all become evident.

The very best solution is to obtain a solid education no matter how much effort it may take.

GED or High School Diploma? What’s Best for You?

Friday, February 12th, 2010



My best advice: If you’re still in high school, stay and finish. You will make more money, get better jobs and feel better about yourself with a high school diploma. No one has ever been sorry they didn’t finish high school.

But if it’s too late for that and you left high school without a diploma, what are your options?

Can you still get a High School Diploma?
A few accredited schools offer extended high school diplomas, but they are costly and the programs take several years. Many “internet schools” claim to offer high school diplomas in a few weeks (some even days!) with a quick test. Be very wary of these. They are fakes; all you receive is phony diploma that means nothing. These are diploma mills. They’re in the printing business, not the education business.

Is the GED the best choice?
The GED or General Education Development was created in 1942 for people who were not able to finish high school. The GED is considered equal to a high school diploma by 97% of colleges and universities, and virtually all businesses. GED means high school diploma.

The GED diploma is issued by your state when you complete the 7-
