text: where in nyc can i get my g.e.d? im looking to get my g.e.d in manhattan. tell people you graduated, and then if they check just say you were homeschooled. but, didn't want to make a fuss about homeschooling.  i have my ged, but i still write on application that i have graduated high school. i have never been caught. jobs that require high school diploma are usually no big deal jobs - so they never check.  believe me, i have been lieing for 20 years, and have never been caught.  but, ya know... i'm in real estate, and i make more money than college grads.  i have always been my own trailblazer.  remember this: in america you don't need any degree to be successful. you just have to ambitious, and a go-getter.
