NA/RA aside, I think it highlights the need for some serious and unbiased guidance on post-high school education. (Unfortunately not everyone will get a copy of Cookderosa's awesome book!)
But the majority of guidance I have ever gotten in my lifetime has always been the traditional "if you go to college, you will have a nice life" type of BS. The best advice I ever have seen comes from this forum and frankly, when I was halfway through my undergrad, I stopped telling people about my CLEP journey because the reaction was almost always negative and I didn't want to cast doubt upon the legitimacy of my own education.
If I had all the time and money in the world, starting a non-profit educational counseling service would be amazing. Everything from pre to post grad, resume services and interview coaching. Would be great!! But I suppose the people mentioned in this thread would probably still do what they were going to do... In a way I guess it's not a bad thing that these guys are out there. We don't want them all competing for our jobs!
(I'm kidding of course)
