Yeah once you get some experience in life a GED might not make a difference at all, heck not even a college education sometimes.
I think some of the people here where trying to convey that it might be a easier start in life with a HS education at least.
I think all the schooling in the world doesn't make a difference if you're a dipshit to begin with. I support this outlook because I have supervised and worked alongside people with full-fledged master's degrees. I have absolutely no degree. I know plenty of people who paid thousands and thousands for school and work shit jobs making 15 dollars an hour because they just have no direct job skills and no drive.
Education can be a tool for success, sure. But its a very minor tool when compared to your own drive and commitment to being successful. For some people, depending on their chosen path in life, dropping out and getting a GED then doing whatever may simply be a way to jumpstart your goals by a couple years.
