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".
