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.

Can you become a psychologist with a GED?
Yes. First, you will need to go to any college that will accept you and prove yourself there. It is like a second chance so don't mess it up! Get straight A's and take hard classes with an emphasis on science (biology, physiology, anatomy) and math (chemistry is most important). Once you get your AA degree, consider getting into a good university to complete your BS degree. Then a medical school may consider you. Absolutely possible. The best way to do it is to get your GED, then go to a community college for 2 years and transfer to a 4year university with medical school. Of course being a doctor is very hard, and you must study a great amount for it. But having a GED is virtually the same as a high school diploma once you get into college.

It depends. Some people like Jessica Lunsford (Google her) was buried alive inside a garbage bag so she couldn't get out. My advice- PRAY!! If somethings going to happen to you, its going to happen. Just stay safe and you will be fine.

GED classes are usually free. Some for-profit companies do charge a fee for test preparation classes but the local high schools do not typically charge a fee. There is a fee to take the GED and this varies by state. I found ranges from $35.00 - $75.00.
You can obtain information on GED classes in your area by visiting the Department of Education web site for your state. According to the Missouri Department of Education, "Tests and test preparation are routinely offered in adult education programs, career centers and other settings, such as correctional facilities and on military bases."
