There are more benefits to having a high school diploma than you could ever imagine. Did you know that more than sixty percent of all jobs worldwide require a skilled labor force? If you don't have your high school diploma, you simply will not fit in with this skilled labor force. Employers prefer candidates for their jobs who have graduated from high school. If you don't have your diploma, someone who has made the commitment to graduate from high school will get the job before you do. Some employers won't even consider hiring a high school dropout. Many consider dropouts to be losers for life. Getting your high school diploma can mean getting a job where dropouts cannot. Another great benefit to getting your high school diploma is the pay increase. If you get your diploma, you can expect to earn more money than someone who left high school before they chose to graduate. You can earn almost three dollars an hour more or more than a quarter of a million dollars over the course of your working years. The final reason you should get your high school diploma is so that you can move on with your life after high school and enroll in post secondary education or trade school to improve your chances of getting a good job. Even if you are not currently interested in post secondary education, finishing your diploma so that you may one day be eligible for it in case you ever decide upon that big step, is a good idea.



Getting your high school diploma can be one of the best things you will ever accomplish. No matter how difficult your situation may seem, no matter how far off that diploma looks, take the time to stay in school and finish your diploma. It is a decision you will never regret.
