What’s more important? A GED, license, or a job?
I’m a high school drop out who recently got fired from my job. I’m trying to figure what’s more important. Do I pursue my GED to get better jobs, the license to have reliable transportation, or the fastest job I can find to get steady income? My family is pulling me in all these different directions and I just want advice. thanks!

Is there some reason you can only do one at a time?
I know you will find this hard to believe but why is it you can't do all three at the same time? I mean - really. Work during the day, go for your GED at night and get the license during business hours. Not only is it doable but if you don't think it is, then you seem to be the problem.
These days, you aren't going anywhere without a GED and that is the bare minimum. If you can keep a part-time job while obtaining that, do it. Getting a driver's license can be put off for a while. In the meantime, use public transportation, aka, the bus.
You need both your GED and a driver's license, pronto! Many jobs require both, so even if you have to work a low-level temporary job while you accomplish these two goals, get started now! You'll be glad you did.
A ged and a license can get you a job but you can get a job without having a license you can get a job with an ID.
I started out with GED, got AA much later in life, made $30 plus/hour when fetiring 15 years ago. GED got me jobs. License let me drive to those jobs
