When I was nearing the end of grad school, they asked us to submit any degrees we’d earned to be listed next to our names in the graduation ceremony program. I “left high school early” so I have a GED (and am proud of it). So I listed my degrees as GED, BA.
A few days later the person putting together the programs finds me in the refectory, pulls me aside and quietly asks me “um, GED? Is… is that high school?”
“Sort of,” I reply.
“Uh, yeah… we don’t usually put those in there…”
Still have a GED sharing wall space with my Master’s either way. Win.
I started using Ecosia after noticing DDG’s downward turn. So far I’ve enjoyed it. It has problems, but I think those problems are just what passes for the internet these days…
