GED® / Adult Basic Education

There are countless reasons as to why you should obtain your GED®, some of the most powerful reasons include the change in the job market, as most employers will not hire anyone who does not have their high school diploma or GED®.

Having your GED® can make an enormous difference in future earnings. A study by the National Center for Education Statistics revealed a difference of more than $6,800 per year in average earning between non-graduates and persons who has either a high school diploma or GED®.

You are also setting an example for others in your family (or close circle) to follow. Family members and friends who are still in school or thinking about obtaining their degree, will see how important getting an education will be to their future. Your determination to make your life better will influence others who are struggling. The ripple effect of your efforts can have far reaching results - doing so much good for you and those around you!
