Jane Said:

How do I get a data entry or office job if I'm a high school dropout who has never worked before?

We Answered:

See "KLU" answer above
35+ years in management, I have to agree. You may have the will, and need. You must also have the knowledge. Get your GED, Go to school and learn the "computer world", as there is much more to it than "office". Hard wok in you furthering your education, and with that will come knowledge, will come work. Work hard.
Good Luck.
I do not hire people as to how they look (I do expect neatness). I hire them for knowledge, based on experience. Yes we all have to start somewhere.
Hope this help

How hard is it for a high school dropout to get into college?

We Answered:

You'll have to graduate from Adult Education first.

My mom dropped out of highschool in 10th grade. She went back to school when i was in high school. She graduated from Adult Ed and a few years later we went to college together. She didn't have any problems getting in.
