I'll be honest guys, I don't see what the big deal is, in the mind of the snooty types. I've taken numerous college classes online, and lots of accredited military classroom training, which required TONS of research and writing, and I still think CLEPS are harder to pass. You literally have to learn WAY more to pass a CLEP than you do to get through most RA accredited college classes. If given a chance I'd MUCH rather go through a class than have to learn a hard CLEP subject like say, science or math.
So, forget what the "my dad paid for my awesome four years of binge drinking and class sleeping" crowd thinks - I guarantee a mature TESC grad has a way better chance of getting hired than a 22 year old wet behind the ears top tier grad. If you can do a good well known school while you're a teenager, great. Do so. But for the rest of us, I'd say we're way ahead of the power curb.
