Okay y'all...this online degree/testing thing has BLOSSOMED since I took my first CLEP test 10+ yrs ago! I am super lost on all the new ways to earn credits like Saylor and Straightliner, plus the old ways that have gone (FEMA freebies I guess are over?!)
Backstory: I have 2 family members that live in a very rural area and have little to know job ops other than Ed Techs at school and other super low paying things. Both keep asking me about online things they could do to get a better job (although both aren't super open to "non-traditional" things though).
What are some new AA/AS degree plans that would be relatively cheap and fast to get? And also simple since neither has done a lot of education period (no credits earned anywhere that I know of.)
Liberal studies would be fine, but something education related or business would be even better probably. I tried looking at the Wiki and couldn't find any Associate degree specific plans.
Also important, CLEP tests or online credits only would be great because the nearest place to take "fancy" tests like DANTES is 3+ hours away and that's not feasible. As it is CLEP tests are almost an hour away from their town.
Any help getting a degree plan and budget started for them would be SO appreciated!!
Thanks!
