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.
1. There is no getting a degree is 5-6 months.
2. Diploma mill should not be an option and that is against everything this community stands for.
3. Have you looked into obtaining Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)? You can use the funds to obtain the credits.
4. The Groupon is not a option, its for a MBA/Master's and people are still waiting for USA accreditation proof from WES.
5. Even going super fast pace with alt credit sources like SL, SDC, etc, (114 credits) then taking required courses cornerstone and capstone (6 credits) from the big 3, you are looking at 12 months minimum before a degree can be conferred.
