Why Charter Oak State College is better than Thomas Edison State College

[Prloko]

I don't think I ever indirectly attacked the school choices of members – maybe that was the perception given how some here are peculiarly sensitive about the degree, all I said was that for me, I felt that Excelsior College sounded lame. More importantly, I said that Excelsior College generally was more expensive than TESC, and COSC, and pickier on their requirements.

My post was about picking a degree that had the best bang for the buck. I believe that Sanantone's degree plans are the cheapest, but probably too difficult for the typical person – mainly because there is an absence of practice exams, forum advice, and instantcert review materials. I could do it, but I don't want to spend the time going through textbooks for that. If Excelsior College had, what I thought was the best bang for the buck as far as price, convenience, and ease overall, I would have gladly picked them instead. The name game was not a primary factor in my recommendation. More importantly, all three degrees are regionally accredited, and they're not probably going to make you the CEO of a fortune 500 company, or CEO of a Facebook like company, or a high level executive on Wall Street –*and the name differences marginal, but it's at least something for some people who are peculiar about things like that to think about – and there's no harm on that.

I am sure that my advice will help people because I know several other posters have done the same program, and credit for the original program goes to burbuja0512 for designing it. If it doesn't apply to your particular situation then more power to you, and if it does, then great!

I was actually trying to take your side. I was merely pointing out that word choice, especially the written word with context can cause this very situation. As i stated, indirectly (as you didn't mean to) as supposed to a direct attack.

Once again, I wish you the best on your endeavor. Burbuja parlayed her COSC degree into a very successful career, and I'm sure it will add utility and satisfaction for you as well.

For everyone, stop taking this so dang personal.

And with that, i will take leave from this thread.
