I have been going to school for the past twenty years. Being active duty military I would get moved every three years. Or the program I was in would be canceled. I finally got the chance to get enrolled in EarmyU. Which is pretty good, but it takes twelve weeks to do one online class and there is little interaction between teacher and student. Then I decided to CLEP out of Humanities because I was in Band and Music for 8 years. Then I found instacert and started hitting all the General Ed classes. I try to encourage my soldiers to try, got a couple of nibbles, but no bites yet. All of them could pass the Computer stuff with their eyes closed.
I have had some people question the degree method but not many. I am not worried about them!
