GED vs High School diploma
Hi! I am 16 in high school with a deep passion and obsession for real estate investment (I'm kind of a newbie). I have always really hated the normal school system, and always found myself learning more about things I am passionate about from the internet than what I am learning from school. Right now I am considering getting my GED rather than finishing high school so I can focus my time on things more important to me, like learning about real estate, making money from a 9-5, and building relationships with people that I value. I don't have any intentions to go to college whatsoever, my current possibilities of work that I am passionate about are real estate, music, and culinary arts, none of which I have any interest of going to college for, thus getting a GED instead of finishing my high school diploma seems like a very good option for me.
So my question is a pretty basic one I hope, if I want to borrow money for a project in the future, whatever that may be, will having a GED lower my ability to get a loan compared to having a normal high school diploma? Are there other factors I should consider in real estate as far as my education avenues? Do you guys on the forums think it would be a good idea to get a GED over a normal diploma?
