It’s August 14, and the Social Security Act became law on this date in 1935. In the 88 years since, millions of Americans have benefitted from the program, especially as they get older or experience health challenges. People might view social security as a kind of financial security blanket, but earning an accredited high school diploma can be very beneficial from a financial standpoint as well. Studies have shown that people who do not complete an accredited high school program earn much less money over their careers than people who have a diploma. American School offers a high school diploma for adults or children, and anyone can earn a high school diploma online or through correspondence.
