Why the GED hate?
Seriously, I get jobs and had a few high paying ones. Why the negative ill towards GED? The staff and students were being disrespectful and spreading rumors after my suicide attempt there, so, bye bye.

So why did you even let that out? Why let people run you off? I sure wouldn't. Nothing wrong with a GED.

To do any kind of industrial driven work, a bachelors is minimum what job world asks if you want to get good salary. I’d say get some further education or develop some special skills and prove in the interviews that you can do what their trained staffs can. Sadly no one wants to waste time training staffs these days.

Fair enough and also depends on what field you graduate in. Most future jobs would be tech jobs. I think you said art. If you are good at painting, I’d say train yourself in some graphic design and other softwares where you can utilize your art skills. That doesn’t need college. We have a few people working with us with no education beyond high school and we employed them. There are a lot of jobs in the Bay Area and the east coast NYC area that employ people with skills and no education or experience. @MissLlyn

@SW-User yeah. I'm still thinking about college, but later. I'm in a program that can help pay for it.

@MissLlyn yeah, it does. Work experience would be more relevant in my eyes tbh

GED vs Diploma only really matters for the first job. But the diploma is viewed as higher because of two reasons...
1) it shows you had the due diligence to follow through with school
2) you conformed to the system and did as you were told so are likely to be a nice obedient worker bee
