'Some high school' often shows up on job applications. Does this mean I don't necessarily need to have graduated high school to apply, or how much education are they looking for?
When the term 'some high school' is used on a job application, it usually indicates that the employer is looking for applicants who have attended high school, but a completion of high school or a diploma may not necessarily be required. Typically, this level of education would suffice for entry-level jobs or positions where specific skills or experience are more vital than formal education.
However, it's always a good idea to review the other qualifications required for the role to ensure you have a strong understanding of the employer's overall expectations. Employers may value certain personality traits, abilities, or previous work experiences, in addition to or rather than education level.
