The Duggars and CollegePlus

[sanantone]

It depends on what your goal is. If you want the "college experience," to get into graduate school, or to go to an Ivy League school, you're free to pursue the B&M/traditional route. However, if you want your degree faster and for less, you can utilize CBEs, testing out and the Big 3 (and its not like you can't be flexible and use CC credits, transfer credits and the like at the Big 3. You can even get into graduate school with a Big 3 degree). Simple as that And there are adults and youth who fall into both categories.


Well those first 3 things you mentioned are either illegal, or cause a lot of hurt.

These things are free to do and a matter of opinion. They don't break the law. Though, I would not put paying for CP in either of these categories. Sometimes there is a genuine need for it.

Good for you

Those things weren't meant to exactly match up with CP; they're just examples of a lot of people doing something that's not the best idea. I would put CP in the category of paying a tax preparer at H&R Block when you can get the same results using their software for much less. After my expensive experience with a tax preparer, I've been doing my own taxes ever since with better results. If my finances ever get terribly complicated, I'll hire an accountant; but I doubt that'll ever happen.
