I am excited to announce that I now work for Study.com as a Transcript Evaluator for their Working Scholars Program.  They actually reached out to me through this forum, believe it or not!

What this means is that I will now have less time to devote to the forum, including creating degree plans - although I still intend to stay active because this is a great place to get information, and share knowledge, with a great group of people.

I also hope that you'll still see me as a reliable source of unbiased information.  There is no conflict of interest, because the people on this forum are not in the Working Scholars program (although if you get a chance to join, by all means do so!).  And, while I think Study.com is a great source of credit, I will try very hard not to push anyone towards them over other providers - my spreadsheets will not change, and I will still recommend getting credits via all kinds of alternative providers.

I will also try very hard not to get involved in any issues any of you might have with Study.com in the future - if you think a course stinks, by all means, say so, and I will not say a word.  If you think they need to improve customer service, or create better content, or add more courses in a particular area, and want to say so on here, go for it.  And if you think they're doing a great job, you can say that too - I promise not to take the credit!  

Anyway, I just wanted to be very transparent in what I'm doing here, and reassure you that anything I say going forward is still as myself - it is from me and me alone.  No one at Study.com is telling me what to say or not to say on here.
