Having both a GED and a high-school diploma
I dont know why but back in 2021 when I completed my GED Program I actually never got my Official diploma or transcript say I passed. I went over to the college that offers the program and they just handed me a bunch if copies of it. I always thought that was sufficient for everytime time I might have to present it for work but now im in a situation where the job ive been wanting for so long has accepted me and the only hing stopping me from actually getting started is the fact that I dont have my official transcript and diploma for my GED. I was able to order a duplicate but that wont come in on time before the deadline and im going to miss out on this opportunity without it. Interestingly though I also I also received a diploma stating that I have completed the high-school I applied for back in 2016 I never even stepped foot in that school, my parents thought it better for me to go to Gambia for 4 years. So now im considering trying to use the high-school diploma to get this job hoping that they will just need that and won't have to contact the school or anything. What do you guys think?
