Answer 1

The G.E. D is actually harder to earn than a diploma.  it has a bad rep, but most people don't know only 1 out of 4 high school seniors can pass it.  I'd say go for it, but don't be shocked if it takes longer to earn it than you thought.

Answer 2

In a lot of ways it is equal, but there are some draw backs. If you plan on going to college, some discriminate between the two. Same thing with some military and government jobs. I won't tell you to hang in there but here is something to think about. Get your GED. Then if you decide to go to college, most have a program that uses your college classes to make up your missing credits from high school, basically completing your high school diploma without taking a single extra class!! It is a really good program and easy to do even if you are just doing a two year associates degree.

Good luck!!
