They don't look at diplomas so much any more as much as "resumes". They want to know what your child has done, completed, been involved in, etc.

One big plus with homeschooling teens is that they have more time to do apprenticeships/volunteer work to scope out a career choice. My son has mentioned wanting to be a vet. We took our cat in last week, and the vet and I were chatting. He asked my son if he was ready to start high school. I mentioned that we are homeschooling and that kid #1 was entertaining the idea of being a vet. As soon as he turns 16, he can take up the vet's invite to do volunteer work at the clinic. : )
