In response to a message to Sheila on ...
MS>Studies show that the GED gets its holders no higher pay.
I'm curious as to your source for this data.  I spent 5- or 6-years teaching 
 adult ed.  Many of the students were up for on-the-job promotions but were 
being held up for lack of a diploma.  For a number of them, passing the GED 
test meant not only a raise in pay but a new job or job-title as well.  I'd 
be amazed if this didn't hold for a significant number of those returning 
for the degree.
