Hello everyone I thought I would post an introduction along with a few newby questions. When I first heard about "testing out" a college degree I freaked out. I knew when I read up a bit on the proceedure that I would be taking this rout over a brick and mortor school.
At 14 I got my GED and went to two diffrent comunity colleges here in Washington state and was offered a few scholorships along the way but passed on further school due to family matters and the fact that I could think of any reason to get a degree when all I wanted to do was build and sell custom furnature.
Fast forward 18 years and I'm looking to get my very own shiny BA(in anything really) to hang on my wall. More for myself really. To me it's a slap in the face to everyone who made fun of me in school for being stupid growing up. Having a near photographic memory coupled with dislexia isn't fun. Good times.
Enough of my sob storey here are a few assumtions I've made by reading these forums. Please correct any misconceptions I may have.
1. Pick a major
2. Pick one of the big three
3. Double check the tests I plan to take are accept by chosen school
4. Pay people money and test like a man on fire
5. Pay the school I chose more money to tally up old and new credits earned
6. Marticate
7. Profits?
Thanks in advance for reading and please excuse my poor grammer and spelling. Not only am I posting from my phone but there is the whole wonky brain thing too.
