You can get your GED if you're 17 in Tennessee. I'm going in the day before my 17th birthday to take my GED test. Talk to your school principal or persona of guidance to double check. They may be able to help you. Or if your school has a police officer on grounds during school, he/she will tell you the law of getting your GED. I've talked to all of mine and they all say the same thing. You have to be 17, you have to have a job, and if you don't pass you can be in GED classes for at least four years.

Do you have to take classes to get your GED?
I believe that it depends on where you live and how old you are. I was 16 when I got my GED, so I had to take the classes first.. if I had been 18 I would have been able to go ahead and take the tests.
How old do you have to be to the GED in California?
The GED Testing Service sets the absolute minimum age at 16. However, individual jurisdictions are allowed to set their own minimums as long as they are not lower than that.
It differs by state. Some states require you to wait until your original class graduates. Contact the School Board or the Superintendent of schools in your County (should be in phone book under City or County Government).
In most (43) states, you have to be 18 or older to take the GED test. Sometimes the state also requires that you not be enrolled in school. Also, many schools and employers prefer to see the high school diploma, so if you are planning something specific in your future, make sure dropping out and getting a GED isn't going to cause a long-term problem.
Are there any online GED classes I can take on my own schedule while I work my day job?
No. You're required to take the test at a testing center, to verify you're the person taking the test and are not using any reference materials.
Depends on the state you live in

Can you get your GED and Associates degree at the same time?
Many colleges do not require for you to have a GED before taking classes. This is really true on the community college level. They require you to apply and to take placement testing in math and English, but other than that you don't need your GED. I suggest you call your local community college to find out their application deadlines and take classes this fall. If you still want your GED you can go through them or your high school district to find test dates. Don't sit around thinking about it. Go do it. You'll be glad you did.

Do you have to have a high school diploma or GED to be a pharmacy tech?
The following is written by and according to the U.S. Department of Labor and particular to the education and training required for a pharmacy technician.
Most pharmacy technicians are trained on-the-job, but employers favor applicants who have formal training, certification, or previous experience. Strong customer service skills also are important. Pharmacy technicians may become supervisors, may move into specialty positions or into sales, or may become Pharmacists.
Education and training. Although most pharmacy technicians receive informal on-the-job training, employers favor those who have completed formal training and certification. However, there are currently few State and no Federal requirements for formal training or certification of pharmacy technicians. Employers who have insufficient resources to give on-the-job training often seek formally educated pharmacy technicians. Formal education programs and certification emphasize the technician's interest in and dedication to the work. In addition to the military, some hospitals, proprietary schools, vocational or technical colleges, and community colleges offer formal education programs.
Formal pharmacy technician education programs require classroom and laboratory work in a variety of areas, including medical and pharmaceutical terminology, pharmaceutical calculations, pharmacy recordkeeping, pharmaceutical techniques, and pharmacy law and ethics. Technicians also are required to learn medication names, actions, uses, and doses. Many training programs include internships, in which students gain hands-on experience in actual pharmacies. After completion, students receive a diploma, a certificate, or an associate's degree, depending on the program.
Prospective pharmacy technicians with experience working as an aide in a community pharmacy or volunteering in a hospital may have an advantage. Employers also prefer applicants with experience managing inventories, counting tablets, measuring dosages, and using computers. In addition, a background in chemistry, English, and health education may be beneficial.
Certification and other qualifications. Two organizations, the Pharmacy Technician Certification Board and the Institute for the Certification of Pharmacy Technicians, administer national certification examinations. Certification is voluntary in most States, but is required by some States and employers. Some technicians are hired without formal training, but under the condition that they obtain certification within a specified period of time. To be eligible for either exam, candidates must have a high school diploma or GED, no felony convictions of any kind within 5 years of applying, and no drug or pharmacy related felony convictions at any point. Employers, often pharmacists, know that individuals who pass the exam have a standardized body of knowledge and skills. Many employers also will reimburse the costs of the exam.
Under both programs, technicians must be recertified every 2 years. Recertification requires 20 hours of continuing education within the 2-year certification period. At least 1 hour must be in pharmacy law. Continuing education hours can be earned from several different sources, including colleges, pharmacy associations, and pharmacy technician training programs. Up to 10 hours of continuing education can be earned on the job under the direct supervision and instruction of a pharmacist.
Strong customer service and teamwork skills are needed because pharmacy technicians interact with patients, coworkers, and health care professionals. Mathematics, spelling, and reading skills also are important. Successful pharmacy technicians are alert, observant, organized, dedicated, and responsible. They should be willing and able to take directions, but be able to work independently without constant instruction. They must be precise; details are sometimes a matter of life and death. Candidates interested in becoming pharmacy technicians cannot have prior records of drug or substance abuse.
Advancement. In large pharmacies and health-systems, pharmacy technicians with significant training, experience and certification can be promoted to supervisory positions, mentoring and training pharmacy technicians with less experience. Some may advance into specialty positions such as chemo therapy technician and nuclear pharmacy technician. Others move into sales. With a substantial amount of formal training, some pharmacy technicians go on to become Pharmacists.

What a GED certificate look like?
Not really, thanks for asking.
I'm really curious as to what legitimate purpose you could have for such a request. Planning on faking one? If so, it's not like they're standardized; they vary considerably by location, and it's not like anyone is likely to recognize even an obvious fake anyway. Print out something with lots of Ye Olde Englishe Lettering on a certificate blank sold at any stationary store, sign it with some illegible scribble, and it's likely to fool most people.
How does education contribute to national development?

What is the reason for success?
It depends on an individuals definition of success. Is it acquiring a fortune, love, contentment with what one has, career goals and objectives, position, power, etc? First you must find your passion, which is a clearly articulated picture of the future you intend to create for yourself. It's a dream! However, a dream (vision) without direction will always remain a dream and will never become a reality. First comes the vision, based on your personal passion of want you to accomplish in life. Then you must develop a road-map that gives direction leading to your overall goals and objectives. Your goals and objectives must be specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and tangible. Then it is pure determination, commitment, perseverance, appropriate attitude, and will. There are no secrets to success!
Remember this; some people climb that so called latter of success, only to find when they reach the top, they're leaning against the wrong wall. Be careful and find your passion. After you find your passion, your path will become clear.
