I even offer to help make them a degree plan, tell them all they have to do is send me the classes they have already completed.
I've done that too. Something interesting, and this might be a stormy comment, but that's NOT my intent to pick on CollegePlus in this specific instance (though I have in the past) but people pay a LOT of money to have people do their degree plan for TESC and then have an "advisor" tell them what CLEPs to take. A LOT of money. *thousands and thousands and thousands* to a middle man for an open enrollment college.
So, it's not facts, it's not logic. It's something: it's sociology and psychology, and I can't explain what "it" is, but it's something. Something makes people believe they can't do this on their own.
But, then they find this forum, and something makes people stay. Their fire is lit and they knock it out of the park. It's something alright, I just can't put my finger on it, but I think this appeals to a certain personality type.
