What do you guys think?

I wouldn't be doing it to get into higher education I've already done some college...I would go back to school just for me. Like I said GED means the equivalent as grade 12 but it's not exactly the same thing. You can get into alot of college and university programs with a GED I'm sure. I guess I feel kind of cheated that I didn't finish high school like most of the people I know, and I guess I need to prove to myself I can do it?

Thanks for the replies and advice

I say do what makes you feel more complete. I do have to say life is a continuing education(at least here in our house) I have kept learning as I home schooled both my kids. My son and I are working on his GED and I think anyone who completes it knows more than a high school grad(now teachers don't get mad)I am a hs grad and half the stuff Ben is needing to know I haven't a clue on. It is possible to go to school and not learn any thing , one district in Washington has a ploicy that after 5 years of HS they graduate you.
Back to the question, if you do decide on higher ed. community colleges are a great way to start in to higher Ed completeing one 2 year program gets you in to most of universtys GED or not. Good luck and follow your heart.

I think that answers your own question.

If it's something you want to do, then do it, and who cares what others think. If it will make you feel better about yourself and your life, there is no way that it can be a bad thing.

Good luck!

I agree....do it! It'll make you feel great about yourself.

I am all for continuing education, be in in a school or life experiences. You have to grow to be a better person.

Good luck! You'll do great!

I really really want to go back to school but working F/T and going to school P/T will be a major hassle!! also because I can only go to school P/T it will take *ages* to finish. But I am prepared to at least look into it. I made some calls today, waiting to hear back from some lady at the local college (she never answered her phone all day, I HATE that!) I will probably do some research on the net as well.
