No Diploma Requirement to Work

There are a lot of unemployed and homeless people in the United States. One reason is because there are a lot of jobs that required you to have a high school (HS) diploma or GED. I believe you shouldn’t need a HS diploma or GED in order to work a job.

            

A high school diploma or GED requires advance math and essay writing skills. Not all jobs need advance math and essay skills. For example, if you want to work at Mc Donald’s as a cashier, you don’t need advance math because the register does everything for you. Some people can know the job well already and don’t need a HS diploma or GED. For instance, if you want to work in a hair salon you don’t need a HS diploma or GED, you just need to know how to use your hands and braid. Likewise, a plumber just needs to know basic math and how to fix pipes. By getting rid of the HS diploma / GED requirement we can let skilled people receive a job, because some people just may want to work instead of going to school.

I believe everyone should be able to work with or without a HS diploma or GED. Not all jobs require advance math and essay skills, or other skills necessary to achieve the GED or high school diploma.
