Congratulations on your GED, it unlocks many opportunities.
It only unlocks community college. I tried it and went back to remedial high school. Didn’t matter cause remedial high school also only leads to community college. If I had dropped out at 14, got a GED, then community college, it would have been an accomplishment. Doing it as an adult only gets you a pad on the back that you’re employable now.
Go to Community College, after a year at CC you are no longer a new student when applying to a 4 year university. You are a transfer student. So the only thing the 4 year school wants to know is if you graduated HS. They don’t care how or what your grades were. They only look at your CC grades.
I care. I tried community college. The last time was biology and my submitted lab project was vetoed because it was too involved. I get invited to do high school science fair judging and most of those projects would have been vetoed for that reason.
Before that, I tried to take geometry at a different community college and they refused me because I tested out of the class with the placement test that required I take. I had to pay to take a test that barred me from the only class I went there to take. There’s something messed up about that, right? I’m currently struggling with an online high school because I do better with a classroom and going at someone’s pace.
I was blocked from taking entry geometry because I tested out of it. Don’t remember if it was 101 or 110. You probably took various types of geometry through out K-12. I’m stuck on Two-Column Proofs mainly because the process is intuitive enough I don’t put words to it. I need to just push though and get whatever grade I get.
That’s not really ideal for me. I’d prefer a clean start. Going right into a major from community college sounds like going from training wheels to down hill mountain biking. I only gave one example of what I didn’t like about my biology class, but there were other red flags that the teacher gave me. It was a very Cs Get Degrees type experience. Anyway, I’m not looking for advice. This is just offmychest.
Nope. My intention was to participate in UROP type activities and maybe some other stuff. I know far too many people who are paying off their student loans in careers that have nothing to do with their degree.
“Do two years at a CC and transfer.” is something I’ve heard about many, many times. If I could do two years and enter as a freshman, I would. At best, CC is what high school should be.
I am way too old for scholarships at this point. Ironic, because one of the reasons I wanted to get better classes in HS was because I wanted to prep for scholarships. My HS really, really didn’t want to talk to me about any of that.
When I got my GED tried CC, I was disappointed enough to go back to HS. In my state, GEDs don’t bar you from going to high school because the legal language isn’t specific enough. Gaining absolutely no ground because why would any admissions care about one good year when the previous few were terrible, I started looking for private or charter schools that could legally take me. They legally could, but they could also refuse me and when I found a good one, I was refused when they found out I already graduated. Despite not even fulfilling the basic requirements(no foreign language, not art), I wasn’t able to get the the diploma rescinded.
The online high school I’m currently in doesn’t care, but it would be nice if they had a virtual classroom or even video lectures that corresponded to the material. I have to just hope the stuff I find uses the same verbiage.
I will not commit to CC without a way to void the credits. I’ve used every wording I can think of to find possible examples of it and the only things I can find are that some would consider it Academic Fraud.
Student Loan Debt is designed to make you wage slaves. Why do you think so many employers stopped on the job training? They want people tied down by debt.
I always preferred Arena style fps games because the varied weapon set means having far greater variety in possible encounters with opponents. Military style shooters feel shallow to me. Skill just means placing shots to the head. There’s no real movement techniques with them
If these things all used Raspberry Pi compute modules, they could be reflashed with custom roms. Just loading stock Kodi would do most of what you might want put of a kitchen computer.

they will never stop at watching “victimless” images.
How is that different from any other dangerous fetish? Should we be arresting adult couples that do Age Play? All the BDSM communities? Do we even want to bring up the Vore art communities? Victimless is victimless.

Being a remedial student who was blocked from better classes, but passing the GED without any studying on the first try shows something is very broken.
Either I never belonged in the remedial classes, the GED is a participation trophy, or both are true....
