Not yet. By collage, do you mean what I'd call university?

Any higher education degree. So, yeah. We still call it a college degree even if you graduate from a university.

Now is this a degree, or like a certificate we get from graduating from high school?

It's what you need to get a degree, you can't go to uni without them. It's kinda in the middle I spose

It's not what we call a college degree, it's more like a high school diploma.

Yeah, but its not like a high school diploma because we already have qualifications that we got at the end of high school lol  Okay, to make things a bit easier: GCSE's - we do at the end of secondary (high) school, at 15-16 years old AS and A2 levels - we do in college, at 16-18 years old. AS is the first year of A level, A2 is the second. Lolly and I are doing AS. University degrees - we do at university, at 18+ You cannot get a university degree without having done GCSE's and A levels or equivalent. Does that help? |

With our high school diploma come qualifications also. There's a program like Devyn is in, where you earn credit toward college/university and there's programs like i'm in where you study in a certain career field and obtain a license. For instance, when i graduate high school, i'll be a licensed Cosmetologist, and others will have licenses for other career positions. So, it's not just a high school diploma.
And what you said, doesn't make us understand any better.
The difference is that your college and ours are completely different. College isn't a continuation of high school for us. High school is the end of the normal educational program for us. Then you choose to further your education by attending either a 2 or 4 yr college/university.

Well, I thought the addition of ages would at least make things a little clearer |

Nope, completely unclear.

Basically we have the steps of degrees, each worth more as you do them. GCSEs are the first, A-Levels second and university third. Currently Scaryhair and I are doing the first year of A-levels, AS exams.

When do you get the actual degree and have a ceremony for accomplishing what's required to get it?
