I am pregnant with baby number 10 due any day.
And we have very limited funds, which are dedicated to mostly 2 things:
Maintaining a decent life now.
Investing in our kids' futures.
I hope to get a degree - some day. But my main goal for the near and dear future? That's my kids. So far, after my time here, they have taken one CLEP. About a month after baby is born, one of them is taking the A&I Lit. By the end of next fall semester, I hope another will have had it and two of them will have also taken astronomy and western civ 2.
If I can afford to take the exam too, that is great. However, sometimes the budget just doesn't stretch to cover me too. If I have to choose between myself taking the tests or my sons, then I wait.
We do what we can, when we can, when we are ready for it.
If others have more money (it is cheaper - not free) or time (it is quicker - not immediate) to devote to this, then yea them.
But to denigrate others for not speeding through at some lightening speed?
Well... My friend, you should ignore the ignoramuses.
This is one of the best post's I have read in a long time. If everyone actually took care of their kids instead of just talking about it (not everyone of course, but so many) the world would be a much better place. 10 babies???? REALLY?!?!?!

I'm always happy to complete the free application waiver for those applying to WGU (I get a free gift from WGU for this). Just PM me your first/last name and a valid email so I can complete their form.
