You are welcome. Always make sure it is listed on there not pending.

Any updates on your employer? I've never heard of hiring someone and then telling them they are fired because they don't have a degree.

From a degree standpoint - why TESC? From my vantage point wouldn't the BSLS from Excelsior be cheaper and faster???

It is coming along but will be close. I will post my academic evaluation once my adviser is finished reviewing the course descriptions for several classes that I hope will be moved from free elective to the liberal arts part of the degree. I was a permanent math sub for a year so the ALEKS math classes were a great option for quick cheap credit. The Pre-Calc class gave me a bit of trouble but overall a great experience.

In no way would that happen in my field. Experience still appears to be king in the IT field I'm in.
Yes. If you look at job advertisements, they like to list a degree as a requirement, but only about 20% of IT workers actually have a degree.

AJ,
Look at DSST Substance Abuse, it is an upper level test and not to difficult.

How are you doing on upper level credits for your area of study?
