What's the name for a high school diploma?

Whats the difference between a high school diploma & a ged?? ?

  • I'm thinking about getting my ged. I hate my high school & I'm trying to transferring but the only place I can transfer to is an alternative school. I'm not learning anything at the school I'm attending & the only way I will succeed is if I leave that school. I really want to be back in school I miss school a lot. But I'm am having trouble trying to transfer to an alternative school (credit recovery school) because I don't have enough credits for most of them so should I just get my ged??

  • Answer:

    There should be no difference. I was home schooled my whole life and when I was 17 I took my GED. It should be the same as a High School Diploma, because I've been going to College for the past 3 years.

The "difference" is the hiring managers that may or may not consider you based on just that.
