The position company recently opened will require one but the job description fits my experience and certification already. HR said I’m qualified but the degree is something that needs to be checked off the box. Is there an alternative to CLEP, SL, SDC, Life Assessments? Any self pace that’s cheap which can be earned in less than 5-6 months? I saw another thread that had a foreign accredited degree for $300 on Groupon. I know sounds too good to be true but someone like me who has 4 kids to feed and provide for, I surely could use that the pay raise!
I’m desperate for something quick because I really wouldn’t want it for anything else than just the pay raise. Yes I know about diploma mills but I still want to learn and at this point I can’t afford what’s out there even the big 3 seems too hard to attain for me.
Quick and easy and learning do not go together. Either something is meaningful or is expedient when it comes to this stuff.
You could try a competency program, but they are gonna have you doing work and it will take awhile. I think the timeline of a degree in 6 months is done. That was possible back in the day with TESU or Charter Oak.
