Re: G.E.D Program?
I had possession with intent and trauncy charges , i got a court order yesterday to get in the g.e.d. program and get my g.e.d and im on a 6 month behavorial contract thing and the charges get dropped as long as i get my g.e.d and maintain a job before the 6 months is up . Anyways im not sure where to even start to get into the program. Im 15 years old, ill be 16 the 28th of jan. so ill be old enough then if you needed to know , anyone that could help its greatly appreciated
We all make mistakes when we're young. What seperates us are the ones who learn from their mistakes and the ones that do not. My advice to you is don't be one of those that take no knowledge from this experience.
With that being said, try and get into a trade school of some sort and specialize in a field, preferably something technology oriented.

high school diploma means shit also, the only way to do ANYTHING in life is through college, 2 year degree's are the new HS diploma. As soon as i get mine this year im Xfering to a 4 year program. Just so everyone knows i do believe one of the previous surgeon generals had a GED

Re: G.E.D Program?
That is all fine and good, but sadly in today's society, whether you are intelligent or not, that paper will still get you somewhere. I have respect for my grandparents who had dropped out though. My Grandpa dropped out to go fight in World War 2, and my Grandma dropped out at 14 to take care of her brothers and sisters after her parents died. They realized the mistake they made by dropping out and scrounged every penny they could to send my dad to college.
I would also hate to say it, but 50k+ is not much these days.

Re: G.E.D Program?
^^ Agreed. Last year I made 32k from working. Granted I'm only twenty without a family but I paid my rents/all my utilities just fine as well as being able to buy the things I wanted for myself. 50k seems like it'd be a substantial amount.

$50k is fucking PLENTY unless youre a douche with your money and blow it all on dumb shit. The average HOUSEHOLD in america makes less than $50k, if one person cant survive off of that they're doing somehting wrong. I make $33k base salary at my "job" and another $4-8k during the hot seasons with my business, and I have plenty of money to live on and play with, and I blow alot of it.

No it's not.
Yes and 20 years ago, $50K was a lot to make, not so much anymore. Houses were also about 1/10th of what they cost now, and everything in general was cheaper. A family of 4 with a decent house cannot live comfortably off $50k a year.
