U.S. Department of Education considers a degree as a high school equivalency

[Hotdogman1]

I’ve applied at a lot of places and most applications ask, “Do you have a high school diploma or equivalent?” with the answers being “yes” or “no” regardless of the education requirement of the job. I now understand that having an Associate degree with no HS diploma would mean you could select “yes.” However, rather than having to select “no” for the next 2 years, it still seems simpler to just get a GED or CAEC (GED replacement in Canada from 5/4/24 apparently) instead.
