My wife has a Master’s degree. Her retirement job requires a HS diploma. The state is requiring a copy of her diploma to certify her.

They would not accept a copy of her Bachelor’s or Master’s degrees because the position required a HS diploma so that’s what they need.

Luckily she has hers. Mine? No idea where it is.

You can contact your HS to request official copies. I actually did this recently for a similarly absurd reason. -- nm - psilotum Jun 30, 21:30
A conversation like this would seriously make me reconsider my employment there. -- nm - Qale Jun 30, 21:07
There's a conversation happening in academia about certification and badging. - Mop🧹 Jun 30, 20:09 1
- It’s more of “sorry, we won’t accept your Master’s degree to prove you have a HS education” -- nm - spamlet 🤦🏻‍♂️ Jun 30, 20:18
Glad nobody ever wanted mine. I always had to check 'high school equivalent' unti 1998. And that was an AA :/ -- nm - Meg Jun 30, 19:17 2
- I dropped out of high school to go to college. I'm pretty sure I officially graduated from high school but I also got my GED in college. -- (edited) - . Jun 30, 19:22 1
  - I'm sure I could have qualified but I'm not sure how they'd handle an Australian Junior Certificate. I'm happy with my Masters. -- nm - Meg Jun 30, 20:06
wow, mine is somewhere? -- nm - crash davis 😺 Jun 30, 19:02
