A GED or better yet, a High School Equivalency Diploma (HSED) can open doors and give you choices that you do not have today. College, military service or a better selection of jobs – all depend on getting that diploma. Visit the Department of Public Instruction for more information.
No diploma? Did you know?
You qualify for only 9% of open full time jobs in the local community. And many of those won’t pay enough to make your rent.
In the Milwaukee area, only 34 percent of full-time jobs with no education or experience requirements paid enough to support a four-person family at the federal poverty level ($19,350). You want more than that! Stay in school.
GIVE YOURSELF A $7,000 RAISE! That’s how much more on average someone WITH the diploma will earn.
