I received my GED about 23 years ago. I have a really good office job, but if I furthered my education...?

Question

it could lead to either a higher position or pay. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? I love computers and art and was thinking on the line of web design, but was't sure it that was to advanced for someone with a GED. Any advise is very welcome. Thanks!

Answer 1

Having a GED doesn't mean a person is stupid.  It just means their life took a different course and that course didn't include high school.  My brother has a GED and he went to college AND maintained a 4.0 GPA.  If computers and design is something you like and are interested in...go for it!  If you have a community college in your area, check with them as to what they have to offer and go from there.  Wanting to do something more and bettering yourself is never a bad idea.

Answer 2

You have to start somewhere. Any college has a core curricula that must be taken first before a major is chosen. I suggest you start in Community college, see a counselor, get some advice and ask them to help you plan a degree program.
