Will getting a degree by testing out allow me to get an entry level job?
#10
It depends on the job and company. I know this is the typical cop out answer, but its the truth. If the company is recruiting "recent graduates", they usually have schools in mind they are recruiting from. If you are applying for a position for a generic company with a Bachelors as a requirement, then it will at least put you in the running. If you are applying to the US government like GS positions, they could care less what school as long as you have the matching experiences. If you are looking to get into Bain Capital, fat chance, if you are looking to get into a generic admin position at LMNOP inc., you're good.

This forum has TESC/Excelsior/COSC graduates who are entry level, senior, management, executive, self employed and unemployed, just like the general population. My degree checks a box, but I am also the first in my family to get a college degree (somehow beating out my nieces and nephews) and am very proud of my degree and it has been well regarded during my job searches.

Don't waste time by trying to save time. The only sure way to complete your degree is to knock out credits quickly and efficiently.

Don't let easiness bite you in the rear. Know your endgame (where you want to be) and plan backward from there. Your education is a means to an end.

Be honest professionally, socially and academically. There are people (especially little ones) who look up to you and they're going by your example.

Be proud. Whether you're an Engineer or Fast Food worker, there is honor and dignity in hard work.

Picking on people weaker than you only proves that you are a weak person.
