OK, so a lot of people have a recurring dream where you have to go back to high school because you missed a graduation requirement, even though you’re a grown-ass adult. But I’m curious if anyone knows what would actually happen in this scenario. Would they wave it off, or would you need to take a college class, or get your GED (or equivalent)? Any educators out there to enlighten us?
I’m no expert on educational administration or hiring practices, but I don’t really see why it would have any tangible impact on your life. if you’ve been to college and gotten a degree there, then nobody cares about your high school diploma, and I doubt the college would revoke your degree because of some administrative fuckery that happened at your high school years ago; you’ve still met all of the college’s requirements to receive a degree.
and even if you didn’t go to college, you’ve got work experience in whatever field you’re in, which is more valuable to any employer than a diploma. most jobs that hire high school grads or people with GEDs are probably willing to hire dropouts with years of experience
The only organizations that cared at all about my diploma were colleges.
