I'll be honest. I found this website while deciding whether or not to buy a degree from a paper mill.
I was desperate, I was desolate. I was stuck professionally. I was disgusted with the disconnect between my intellect and the paper to prove how smart and talented I knew I was inside. I tried to enroll in a community college and they told me I had to start over from scratch as all of my credits (60 credits) were from a "nationally accredited school".
When I stumbled upon this website, I read and stalked posts all night like a mad man. A fire was lit in my MIND. It was better than TV. There were so many people, just like me, smart, capable but disgusted just like me and ready to GO.
After reading and looking through everything, I was still doubtful, but I began. In September of 2012, I had 18 usable credits. I used Sept to map my entire AAS/BS plan and set a start date for Oct. 1. In the month of Oct, I started and finished 13 classes on straighterline.com for a total of 39 credits.
On Nov 1st... I was juiced. JUICED!!! I had just finished 1.3 years of college in 1 month. At that point I started on my CLEPs and began the process of enrolling in TESC (I love them).
I told several friends in IT who were in the same position as me. (Lame job, no degree, ton of experience, low wages.) They laughed, called it a scam, said they heard about it already... ultimately - NO ONE I TOLD WAS INTERESTED. To this date, I've told over 100 people and not 1 has been motivated enough to do a damn thing. <sigh>
Anyway, its real. Its awesome, unbelievable and life changing. I just wanted to come here and say thanks to all the people that made my success possible.
Thank you folks, thank you admins, thank you lurkers, thank you selfless and tireless helpers. This website changed my life and I'm going to keep explaining the process until I change someone else's life too.
