This is true. Very few places will look into your education if it's just high school. I used to work in retail, and all that's usually required as 'proof' is to give you a test to make sure you're not a complete idiot, and you don't need a high school education to actually pass it. You just need to know how to read and have a little bit of common sense. You could lie away on your resume, and as long as you passed that test and a criminal record check, you're hired.... yet people occasionally failed the test.
