I take some offense to this statement, since I got my GED and also this year received my LL.B. (Bachelors of Law) and will now be working on my Masters very soon. I believe your pay grade should be given based on skill, and not merit. I've met a lot of people who have gotten college degrees and couldn't tell you the first thing about what they've studied. Serves em' right, if the guy with the GED is more intelligent... The United State's High School system is a laughable at best, and depressingly dumbed down at worst. Real world experience and how you handle whatever adversity comes your way, its what separates the truly talented human beings, and the not-so-much. Not a piece of paper, as someone like Richard Branson might tell you..
