We all know that there is more than 1 path that can be taken to achieve educational success. In this “hustle and bustle” world that we live in, there are more and more people from all over the United States who have had to pursue a job or career first, which as a result, would make an education become an afterthought.
In fact, some of the names of these previously mentioned people, who chose this path to grab a career first and go back to receive their GED later on, are quite impressive and are more well known than you would think.
We have all heard of the brilliant comedian, actor and scholar Bill Cosby. Well it turns out that Bill was a high-school dropout who later went on to earn his GED degree. He finished his studies while in the U.S. Navy and after being discharged, Bill attended Temple University on an athletic scholarship. He later received a master’s degree and a doctorate in education from the University of Massachusetts.
Here are some other celebrities who went on to get their GED:
- Comedian, Chris Rock

Sometimes when people say or hear the word GED, we all pretty much assume that this test was created not too long ago. We also might have thought that this test was created only for busy full-time mothers or for people who did not get the opportunity to go to high school. It turns out that this is NOT the case. The GED (General Educational Development) has deeper historical roots than you would think. The GED test was created in 1942 for war veterans to receive the qualifications necessary to graduate high school. Almost 30 years ago, the GED certification was just as important as it is today for the purpose of getting more job opportunities and applying for college programs.
