Stupidguy, maybe you should go explain to your employer how "stupid" they are and how "stupid" the education system is. This may be your opportunity to show how singularly brilliant that you really are. Maybe you could suggest that the company lay off all of the college educated employees and replace them with a bunch of people just like you.

Hehe... From the first point I saw the OP's post, I was wondering if WWFJDRAW was back again... Eeesh.
Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Wile E. Coyote, genius. I am not selling anything nor am I working my way through college, so let's get down to basics: you are a rabbit and I am going to eat you for supper. Now don't try to get away, I am more muscular, more cunning, faster and larger than you are, and I am a genius, while you could hardly pass the entrance examinations to kindergarten, so I'll give you the customary two minutes to say your prayers.
Bachelor of Science in PsychoRabbitology degree
Master of Education with a specialty in Rabbit-specific destructive munitions (or eLearning & Technology, I forget which)
Doctor of Philosophy in Wile E. Leadership with an area of specialty in Acme Mind Expansion - 2017 Hopefully

Or I can study and learn what I need to know in order to pass the CLEPs and potentially save lots of time and money.
So I am going for the second option. The problem is since I have no urge/desire/care because I feel that nothing that I learn will really apply in life (I have felt this way most of my schooling career) I am looking for the simplest cheapest way to do this. I know other people would challenge my "nothing in school apply's to life" notion, but I am perfectly happy with my ignorance.
I am getting the BA because stupid employers value the piece of paper and the knowledge that you struggled with school for 4 years. Oh yeah and because my employer is paying for it. Otherwise @*!# that, they charge way to much for an education system that most people don't get much out of, and the people that do could just as easily pick up a book and learn the information if they wanted to.

I agree, this post is a bit too familiar...consider this your first and last warning. Keep your posts on track or find another forum. The members here will help you in any way they can but to come here slamming education is contradictory to what this forum is about.
Nothing in life, of value, is either "simple, easy or cheap".
