Imagine if he had known about CLEP.....

[Johann]

I wonder how his life might have been changed if he knocked out just 30 credits via CBE....$7000 or so?

He might have missed out on living the peripatetic way he apparently likes to. His degrees are not in "hobology," though. His undergrad degree is in English and History (hence no employment offers) and he now has a Master's in Liberal Studies. I think it's significant that since graduation, he's been writing a second book -- on his six-month hike along the Keystone pipeline route. Vagabond scholars have been with us since the Middle Ages. That's OK by me...

"When I first thought to hobo'in, hobo'in,
I took a freight train to be my friend, oh Lord
You know I hobo'd, hobo'd, hobo'd, hobo'd,
Hobo'd a long, long way from home, oh Lord"

(Hobo Blues - John Lee Hooker)
