    Since you went to university, of course they're not asking about your highschool diploma. Employers don't just care about your job experience. If they did, people who dropped out of highschool would be making as much money as people who went to university. You can't get the job experience that gets you high-paying jobs unless you have an education.

    People with a highschool diploma do make more than people with a GED, and people with a GED do make more than people who dropped out of highschool and didn't get a GED. Stats from the US and Canada say the same thing.

    Every job I've ever applied to except for a meatpacking plant that employed actual children and paid in cash asked about my education when I was applying. Tim Hortons asked about my education. You have to say what the highest degree you have is. In the past few years, every job I've applied to has even asked me for my GPA in university. And I'm just applying for basic office jobs.
