Will getting my GED hold me back in Politics?

I'm currently in the Job Crops program. After I plan to do 2 years of community college and then transfer to a Univerity for my Political Science degree. Then I want to pursue politics. My question is will getting my GED at Job Crops instead of my diploma hold me back in politics? Currently to qualify for my Diploma I have to get my GED so is it really worth doing both?

It doesn't appear that anything will hold you back. You appear to have ambition and a measure of patience as you move toward what you wish to accomplish.

And, "so far, so good".

Next, of course is obtaining, in the end, a four-year degree. Community college/college/university is a path many take. And they make it. With your attitude, you'll make it.

Along the way, get involved in politics, to see what aspect of it interests you. Volunteer on a local level. You'll probably be a "gofer" initially. But you'll work your way up. Given administrative tasks. Observe and learn. And you'll probably be introduced to state and national figures and issues. This type of experience will in all probability test your political philosophy. Give you a chance to do some self analysis. As in maturing your political beliefs. What works for you and what doesn't.

Meanwhile, back in higher education. There will be some requited course you will have to take. Part of a well rounded education. Very useful. The mark of an educated person in many respects. As in being able to take part in a conversation on a wide range of topics.

Major? Minor? Probably Political Science and history. History is especially important. It will give you depth and a broader perspective.

Now. Go get 'em/

Earning your GED doesn't limit your potential to reach your dreams. On the contrary, it demonstrates your determination and self-awareness. It proves that you're capable of pursuing personal growth, regardless of the situation. This is a testament to your resilience and your commitment to self-improvement.

Hi Violet,

GED and HSD are equivalent. Obtaining a GED will definitely not hold you back in politics :)

Future professional jobs may ask for your college transcripts, just to verify your degree.

Sounds like you have a clear career goal. I congratulate you. That's the first step to success.

Best of luck,

Ana
