No diploma equals no job

So frustrated because I was a foster child that maxed out the system and couldn't complete my high school education to get my diploma. The GED is too expensive for me to get as I'm really low income with no help. I'm a mom of young boys and haven't worked since 2006 (briefly). I've been fighting to secure employment and my fiancee recently lost his job which makes it that much harder. Every time somebody calls me back about a job and finds out I have no high school diploma , (I finished up to 11th grade), I get no response just a hang up in the face. It's 2017 man. I would have graduated in 1998.... I'm about to give up.

I thought there were some free GED classes...? Maybe u can go to adult school to finish? Tell them about your situation and ask or beg that fees be waived. Doordash. Com/ instacart. Com to deliver groceries if u have a car ( boyfriend too). To rover.com/ wag.com if u guys luv pets. Convergys. Com yo work from home

I'm sorry for you, but there are many resources out there for you to obtain your GED along with all of the help you need to pass. Start there. You need to feel really good about something right now an that will be a major achievement and it will set you up for success. Good luck

Don't worry, I have my MBA and I still work in retail. It's a jungle out there. Just find something you are passionate about and pursue it till you acheive your dream.

Check with local junior colleges that offer student grants and will allow you to take GED courses while going to college.
