John Bear has been publishing a guide to doing things "our way" for the last thirty years. It's been widely ignored.

I see where you're coming from, but I guess I'm just a cynic. I don't see a lot of fortune going on on these
forums, I see people doing months (and years) of research, making plans, and going the road less traveled.
The majority will never be willing to do that.
In a way, nontraditional education is like astronomy. It's always there. It will always be there. If a person is
too foolish or proud to simply look up, then it's no one's fault but their own.
I thought I read somewhere that John Bear used to run a diploma mill.

Don't waste time by trying to save time. The only sure way to complete your degree is to knock out credits quickly and efficiently.
Don't let easiness bite you in the rear. Know your endgame (where you want to be) and plan backward from there. Your education is a means to an end.
Be honest professionally, socially and academically. There are people (especially little ones) who look up to you and they're going by your example.
Be proud. Whether you're an Engineer or Fast Food worker, there is honor and dignity in hard work.
Picking on people weaker than you only proves that you are a weak person.
