Useful Free CLEPS

[cookderosa]

I'm in a career change mode right now due to the old guard dying at work (I work in IT) and am an old fart too which is why I'm looking at those free CLEPs. I saw what was happening at work, made a slight pivot to get a promotion after I graduated from TESU, but that move wasn't aggressive enough to avoid disaster. I should have abandoned my current group and went into a completely different area of IT even though I saw the train coming to hit me. I'm running through the usual suspects like nursing/vet tech/other patient facing health career, radiology tech, accounting, welding, another area of IT, etc. I could almost sit for the CPA with a CLEP or two (yes I know I would need to launder the CLEPs since TESU is in the rear view mirror). Nursing seems pretty unrealistic, but my health is good. Right now I want to keep all my options open. I don't have firm plans what to do but it's obvious I was nowhere near aggressive enough (keep in mind that age discrimination is alive and well at work if I try to stay in IT).

Or..... go where people value experience. Teaching. You can teach FOR someone (a college, bootcamp, jobcorp, etc.) or you could develop and launch your own online teaching program. Udemy and Thinkific are great platforms for this, lots of people making a living this way.
Though I don't do it, if I could figure out a way to charge my followers $1/month, I'd be making 6 figures without doing ANYTHING.
