is a G.E.D the same as a high school diploma? i know there is a difference between the two but i'm saying as far as jobs and colleges go,would a GED be looked upon the same as a diploma.

it does mean the same thing colleges and jobs do look at it the same. the only difference is that a diploma you get it in hight school and a GED you get it in adult school.

If your that close, do it. I have a GED, and in college, and my job, i always said i have a ged, and they were like OK, same thing. it is exactly what it says it is. General Equivalency Diploma.

U can look it at like the same thing. Its just certain high schools are ranked higher then others. So its kinda like "oh he got his Diploma at this HS, should be pretty smart (or pretty dumb, depending on the rank of the school)" As to where "He just got a GED at some adult school".

Just like gettin a degree at one college as compared to getting it at a different college.
