Do you judge people on whether they....

Honestly, I try not to be judgemental about anyone, but sometimes I find myself doing exactly that. I don't judge people by their education. I am a GED graduate and often recieve different takes on it from, being a easy fly by night diploma, a joke or at times I also have heard that its the hardest way to graduate! But overall I don't let it bother me,I was 14 years old when I droped out of the High School & recieved my GED Diploma two weeks after I enrolled, so I know that I could not be any less smarter than a high school graduate!

I dont exactly know what a G.E.D. is, seems to be some sort of degree, but I wont judge people by their level of graduation or schooling anyways.
I have had 13 years of school and then studied for 3 years to become a librarian.
My husband has no more schooling than the minimum laws here tell you to have, then he had training as a craftsman, so what?

People do that all the time where I work. I have not learned that trade at their school but came from outside so to say and learned it in learning by doing. That was 14 years ago.
I am not worse than the others I think and I am proud I still have that job.

You know what,I tend to try not to judge people full stop.Judges are for the courts.Its not for me to say who is clever and who is not.Its not for me to compare academic achievements either.Smartness has very little to do with academia,that much I have learned,does that make me smart?

Wisdom is better than knowledge, without it, we cannot make good/wise decisions in our plans.
I do not quite exactly know what G.E.D. is, but I think it depends on the mentality of that certain person. Having gifted with a great knowledge is a gift, it is then up to us on where to apply it to.

I do not judge people based on their education. I have learned through personal experiences that the some of the smartest people are people who did not graduate from high school. Alot of my friend dropped out of school in eight or ninth grade, got their G.E.D and then went to nursing or trade schools and are now doing better than I am. I graduated from high school and college, and struggle to find work because I don't have experience because I was in school. Imagine that.

I think people who have gotten their G.E.D. have travelled down a different road the the majority.
I admire them more than some one who graduates out of highschool because although life gave them bumps in their road they didn't forget the importance of education.
I don't see your views here, what do you feel? Susan

I could care less how they got the piece of paper. It is all in how well they are working now and keeping a place and if they treat others well. Book smarts is one thing and real world evidence is the real deal. Will be neat to see what others have to say about this.

no they smart, but maybe they don't want a high degree m maybe they have their believe, maybe they want it but can't get it because some other reason not the smart thing .

No one should judge anyone. It makes no difference to me if someone graduated or if they got a GED. There could be a good reason why they had to leave school (like a death in the family). To judge them would be unfair.
