Its funny I came across this thread. I like the learning format of WGU so much I will probably pursue a couple more degrees from the college to finish off my GI Bill funding.

I've heard of this guy.

There is something really wrong with this guy. Why won't he graduate?
Quote:Benjamin Bolger - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A lot of his degrees are too similar. I don't understand why someone would do this. It's like that guy with dozens of associate's degrees. Several of them are in the same subject or same general field.

Wikipedia has an entry for the perpetual student. Milton de Jesus has been a student at University of Puerto Rico since 1963. They mention some fictional characters who were perpetual students. One of my favorite t.v. shows is Girlfriends. One of the main characters has several degrees and is over her head in student loans. She can't hold a job and is usually living with one of her friends.
