I have recently found out that my highschool diploma is no good. I have been trying to better myself financially, so that means getting a better job. I has enrolled in an apprentice program for imaging technician. These applications are accepted only once a year, and even then they don't always hire people, this year they are hiring three people. So, I apply, take thier screening test, and pass. I'm told, that they have gone through all the applicants and they have selected me as one of the three they want to hire. Now all they have to do is a background check on me, and everything will be a go. I get a call today, and they tell me there is no record of the school I attended and received my diploma from. They ask if I'm sure of the location, and I'm sure. I further tell them that it was a home school, when they heard that, they informed me that the school was not registered with the state, making my diploma invalid. In order for me to get into this program they need my school transcripts to see my grades, since they can't get my grades they can't accept me.
So, now I'm enrolled in a GED course so I can have that to get into the program. The problem is, they can't hold my position, they have to give it to someone else. I can reapply next year, but who know's if there will be any positions open then.
This is so humiliating and embarassing, I'm 34 and I find out from someone else my diploma is no good, worse yet, I have to get a GED. This job would have paid 70 to 100,000 a year, after I completed a three year course.
Well, I guess all there is left to do is go postal!!
