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.
