  Getting a bachelors, masters or phd life experience degree on line: Smart move or waste of money?With more on line degree courses offered every year, and more students taking them, for growing numbers of prospective students the question isn't whether to get an on line degree, but which school is best for online degree programs? Of course, the answer is different for different students, and depends on what your priorities are, what you are looking for and so forth. For some, a life experience degree seems to be an attractive option. Pay your money, get your degree, they verify you earned your degree if an employer calls- why not? After all, it says it's an "accredited life experience university". A few things to be aware of: First, any business can claim to be an accredited onlie degree school. The question is, accredited by who? There are some impressive sounding accreditation boards that are actually just made up fronts. In addition, employers are well aware of the on line life experience degree option, and they aren't necessarily fooled just because someone answered the phone and said "yes he earned his degee." It isn't difficult or time consuming, with the internet, to search and find out just how respected a university is. Having said that, there ARE good, respected schools that see the value of giving some credit for life experience. Surely 10 years of real life business experience is a more valuable educational experience than a 6 weeks course. The thing to watch is, does it sound too good to be true? and is it a suspisciously fast on-line degree? So, do your homework, check the options, and make sure you aren't throwing away a lot of money on something that won't truly benefit you or your future employers.

Funny University Application LetterDear sir or Mam, I would like to apply for a colege degre. I have real smarts, mostly self-learned though you wood not no it. I can read real advanced, and can also write Engish and other langauges. I’m a real lingist. My communicatoin skils are to die for- least my Ma said that on her death bed. Maybe I could be a nurse or emergency technician or minister or divinity expert like a chaplain. Or maybe all three! And I have been studyng up on a lot of majer subjcts. A distants correspondance coarse would help me get some educatoin and gradjuate with a deploma. I'm not so certian yet which degee I want to get, but I know it shouldn't be in mathmatics or enginering. I'm not so good with engines, or any technology like electrical lights and electronics and such. I can’t even see electrons- they make them so small these days! I’m good at accounting though. I’m always a counting my finances, which I keep mostly in my pocket for safe keeping. I could be an economist but maybe just for one person at a time. I was thinking about maybe crimnal justice, becuase I think justise is a good idea as long as it is fair. I’d be a real fine judge, in my estimation. Or a lawyer or even an attorney. I really like counseling too. But my therapy is almost over cuss of insurence running low. But my therpist says I'm good and ready to cross that line and move on to a greener pastor. Dunno why a pastor would be green, unless he ate my potato salad! Anyhoo, so if you'd consider me for one of your bachelor dgrees I'd be pleased as punch- not that I drink you understand. I mean I drink water, for sure. Maybe I should study biology or nutrition or agriculture. Yeah, maybe a bachelers dgree in farming, and then I could work my way up to being a master of something, then a docter- if you have docterate pograms that is. I mean, not like a health or medical degre- I mean one of those P hd diplomas you get from taking a bunch of tough courses for a year and wrting a theses or disertation or something. I do a lot of writing, though mostly in my head. Maybe I could be a great socail scientist or busines profesional. I could even maybe be like the head of the univercity program and then maybe even become a political science sientist politicain! YEAHI could be President! President of the whole country- not just part of it! Course, fist I guess I should enquire- do you guys have like a GED highschool diploma progrm? I mean, just to get all warmed up? P.S. Please reply quickly as I am 94 years young and I’m told by my social worker and parol officer I have some geriatric tendencies which I’m guessing is some kind of code for being a hit with the ladies. Or hit by them anyway. Much abliged, B.A. Johnston, Graduate of the University of Hard Knocks. © InnocententEnglish.com |
