"But I know that employers DO in fact prefer high school diplomas to GEDs."

You "know" no such thing. You may know of some employers who prefer high school diplomas to GEDs. You may correctly surmise that most employers prefer high school diplomas to GEDs when the applicant has only a high school education. But you cannot know what every employer in the country prefers. I dare say that there are more than a few employers who have a GED themselves who quite prefer to hire workers who also have a GED rather than a high school diploma.

I cannot believe that many employers care one way or the other about high school diplomas when the applicants have a college degree.

You are correct, but now you are being disingenuous.

I never mentioned anything about a college degree.

Obviously if someone with a GED gets a college degree then they will be more attractive as a job candidate than someone who just has a high school diploma.

But if an employer sees two people, one with a GED, and one with a high school diploma, and no college for either, he is probably going to favor the candidate with the diploma.

And, yes, I do know such a thing.

I understand that there is a lot of hatred of public schooling on here, but the fact remains that most employers prefer high school diplomas to GEDs when you leave college out of the equation.
