Though it didn't used to be necessary, a high school diploma or GED are essential today for landing jobs and absolutely critical if you desire a job that pays better than minimum wage. But that is just the starting point. Basically, having a diploma tell an employer that you can get past the basics in adult education, and that's it. If you want to advance in life and career, it is advisable to continuing your education past a diploma. At least a trade or technical school, where you learn how to do specific careers (healthcare, technology, mechanical, etc), will help immensely. Some people prefer to continue on to an Associates degree (A.A.) at community colleges. Other continue to their Bachelor's degree (B.A., B.S.) and other continue on to achieve their graduate degree (Master's or Doctorate). But the diploma is the most basic step and is therefore very advisable to obtain.
