[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 722164, member: 1963"] Well...I had a successful career in Information Technology with a GED, but I started out as a clerk in a computer shop and worked my way up, taking technical ed courses for certifications as they became available, some out of pocket, and working my ass off. Lots of long hours, in the early days,lots of physical work, (boxes of paper weighed 60lbs), and lots of jobs requiring serious brain work and that I prove myself over and over. There are still many jobs where one can succeed with a GED, but they requied hard work and dedication in all cases, and either physical labor, or intellect, or both. ALL require a good work ethic. She can do it, but it's gonna require a radical change in attitude, and the willingness to work HARD and take direction. [/QUOTE]
