Once you have a college diploma, a high school diploma becomes obsolete

Did you know that once you have a college degree, your high school diploma becomes useless? Meaning you can drop out of high school but go to a community college, get an associate's Degree, and transfer to a university to get a bachaler's Degree without ever getting a high school diploma.

I learned this when I had talked to a counsler at my community college and it made realize I should just go ahead and just take c lasses that will go for my associate's Degree even though I don't have a high school diploma. Ain't that interesting?

That counselor was full of ****. Also if you dropped out of HS and didn't have a degree, you wouldn't be allowed into a Jr. College nor a regular one.VetteMan85

I'm going for an AA so I can go to a 4 year university. Even though a high school diploma will be useless for me once I get a college degree I'm still gonna work to get a high school diploma just so I can say that I got one (math is the reason why I'm behind in high school).

but why drop out in the first place, just take AP classes and get the credit you would have gotten at a comm college and go straight to the university, dropping outtakes more time and effort then just finishing high school

Because I'm 2 years behind in high school when it comes to math. (I'm 18 btw). SO I have to go through community college and I have to go to adult school in order to finish my hs diploma.

Yeah, I don't get it. What kind of person is lazy enough to drop out of high school and but then somehow turns around and goes "hmmm...I think I'll go get a Bachelor's Degree"

"Community college is like a disco with books; 'Here's ten dollars; let me get my learn on!' "

He said associates, not bachelors.

there are things you might learn in high school that you might not be able to experience in college.

i dunno with you, but im talking about the slow maturity thing :p

you wouldnt get into a college that was worth a crap without a highschool diplomainyourface_12

Actually, yes you can. If you get your GED and go to a community college you can transfer to a University.

My friend did it.

yea I wanted to do this back when I was 16. Too bad I couldn't get my GED till I was 18 so that ruined the plan. So I drifted through HS and the first couple years of college.

Not quite. Taken from http://www.crn.com/it-channel/18814396

While an Associates Degree still doesn't normally pay nearly as well as a bachelor's degree, it does pay better than just a high school diploma, and it also makes it easier to get a job.
