Would you actually have to go back to high school? (awful.systems)

OK, so a lot of people have a recurring dream where you have to go back to high school because you missed a graduation requirement, even though you're a grown-ass adult. But I'm curious if anyone knows what would actually happen in this scenario. Would they wave it off, or would you need to take a college class, or get your GED (or equivalent)? Any educators out there to enlighten us?

I'm no expert on educational administration or hiring practices, but I don't really see why it would have any tangible impact on your life. if you've been to college and gotten a degree there, then nobody cares about your high school diploma, and I doubt the college would revoke your degree because of some administrative fuckery that happened at your high school years ago; you've still met all of the college's requirements to receive a degree.

and even if you didn't go to college, you've got work experience in whatever field you're in, which is more valuable to any employer than a diploma. most jobs that hire high school grads or people with GEDs are probably willing to hire dropouts with years of experience
