Another creditless IT cert?

[scorched]

Hey Upton, I feel you.
Exc straight up told my electronics classes from CCAF are not accepted.

I am stuck between finishing my EET which will take another year, or possibly using my experience and certs to PLA for a BSBA CIS, or maybe Comp Sci.

What degree are you pursuing? And from you other posts, I lived the life of an electrician for a while and had some of the same thoughts, can I really do this for 30 more years. (I was 20 at the time).
I did both new construction, which I did enjoy, as well as home services, so crawling in 150 degree attics and such was no fun.

Cheers!

Scorched,

I love the way your post illustrates the disconnect of higher education from the real world. I decided on Liberal Arts after the Business and Technology school offered me 24 credits of my 59 gained through the Community College of the Air Force in electrical and electronics. As an electrician, I couldn't possibly understand basic AC or DC theory. It nudged me in a direction that I am happy about now, but I walked away from Excelsior after that evaluation. There are too many blanket approaches to evaluations from MBAs who shouldn't be evaluating technical folks.

As a follow up on the 9 credits for certs claim. I looked it up and found the reference in the Business and Technology catalog on page 120. It is discussing the BSIT.
