Question

Is a GED diploma worth it?

Answer 1

Better than nothing, I guess

Answer 2

"A high school dropout makes on average $19,000 a year, a high school graduate makes $28,000 a year, a college graduate makes $51,000 a year."

So, how much work is worth $9K to you, EACH YEAR? If the value of someone's time is the amount he (or she) gets paid, then investing 40 hours a week for 6 months to get a GED has paid for itself in a year later. Your mileage may vary.
