homeschoolers finding employment

Postby Sakmeht » Mon Nov 06, 2006 5:10 pm

Hi there,

My husband and I are planning to homeschool our daughter (who's only 2 right now). My fathers concern is how she would find work without a highschool diploma (he's assuming she wouldn't have a college degree at this point, i.e. going for a summer job or something). I understand his concern. Many homeschoolers don't like to get the GED for fear that their prospective employer might think that they dropped out of high school. Do any of you have any good info, statistics, links, etc... that would help me to persuade my father that homeschoolers can get employment opportunities just as easily as the rest of us? Thanks!

And the diploma would be recognized by employers as valid?

Because that sounds like the way I might go, as long as these companies don't charge TOO much. Do you know the name of some of these companies that I might check them out? Thanks!

A self-issued diploma will be just as equally valid, so long as you can back it up with test scores and/or portfolio of work.
