I can tell you're an academic at heart. it's obvious from talking to
you that you are smart, and that you soak up information and like it.
Not having a college degree doesn't make you any less smart or
academic, but I can understand it really feeling like you just SHOULD
have it. That makes sense to me.
You deserve it.
Funny thing is I have had friends from the local community college or the HR manager who received her degree from the state university tell me my degree will not be legit despite Excelsior's accreditation.
It's the PHD who has given me the most encouragement and thinks this is just another path to a degree! Of course he was also homeschooled during his elementary years so he knows that learning doesn't just take place in the classroom.
