Degree Finished - Thank You

We did consider a GED. The local technical college has free prep and testing. My son is opposed to the idea simply because of the "drop out" association with the GED. Home schooling is common enough here that it probably has a higher rep than a GED.

Since it was my suggestion, I'll just chime in to also say -- he can get it (no harm) and not disclose it unless there's a need to. FWIW, I *am* a drop out. I've never been looked down on for it, and I had my GED two years before my HS friends had their diplomas.

I am hopeful the degree will make all of this a non issue.

In my experience, it largely will. Once he has some work experience, the degree is largely not going to matter either.
