Never saw the point in hanging onto that diploma. Do have my college degree handy, as well as some advanced certificates and honors society stuff...but given that I'm 60 now and nobody has ever asked to see any of that stuff, I think it'lll be among those things that my kids toss when I pass on. It's all on my resume, verifiable if ever challenged, but apparently I have an honest face.

I'm 42. I haven't seen my diploma in 24 years. I assume it's at my parents house somewhere.

In a box in the basement with my college diplomas and a bunch of "I love me" crap from the Army.

In a box in the basement with a bunch of other old stuff.

I only know this because I had to rearrange the room the box is in not too long ago.

I have no idea. Of course, I could never find my Spandau Ballet cassette either...

I think it's probably in a box at my parents' house.

Our school could only afford 11 diplomas the year I graduated ('67). Lucky for us, there were only 11 graduates.
My diploma is at my parent's house.

The only people who ever inquired re my high school graduation was the first college I attended. But my HS diploma is in a filing cabinet w/my college degrees.

In all honesty, I think it's sitting on top of the Zeppelin Box Set in the basement.

Seriously.

12 years of education, to prove myself worthy...and I lost it in 3 minutes.

Cest la vie...

As for the college diploma: no clue.
