Age/Degree Poll - maryyj - 10-05-2009
wow, I am so jealous of the people who started taking cleps/dantes earlier than me! I could've have gotten school over with sooner. Bleh, I don't like school. >_<
I'm 17 and I just started testing not long ago. Currently, I have 30 credits.
Best of luck to everyone!

Hey, you started even earlier than me! I took my first CLEP a few months before I turned 18. Now I'm 19 with 56 credits and counting.

I've always wanted to go to school and get a degree but things just kept coming up, seems I always had to work to support myself and my family. After getting laid off this time and constantly seeing "4 year degree required" in my job search I decided to do something about it. I'm starting from scratch but as they say "A journey of 1000 miles begins with a single step".

Hang in there, Patrick! You're not the only one in their 40s trying to finish their degree. I'm working FT and trying to pull this off just to keep my job. Not fun but the reward will be worth it.
