<p>I'm looking to compare the 2, I'm currently 17 years old, birthday is on the 25th of this month and I'm not enrolled at high school anymore.</p>
<p>Due to health reasons I missed my 11th grade year and my school is trying to force me to go to a alternative school and spend another 2 years there at least to graduate(2013). They refuse to let me take night classes/summer school. Since I don't want to spend another 2 years in school I was thinking about obtaining a GED but my parents shot the idea down saying it was worth nothing next to a high school diploma.</p>
<p>Any advice/suggestions? I'm looking to do something with IT or computer science.</p>
