I am annoyed! - rant

[spazz]

I do not care if they say they use professors from MIT to make the clep tests. What is certain is that the tests cover the superficial topics of the course. Another proven point is that if you clep the course, assuming you actually LEARN all the material covered and not just memorize what you need to, because there is an obvious difference between remembering the superficial topics and being able to apply them in traditional schooling labs/work force. YOU are still losing the aspects which are taught from the professors experience and research expertise. So you are losing a lot and YES if I was as old as some of you I would be following right in your footsteps (Meaning I would have other obligations, family etc that I needed to work etc.). But since I am not, and most people in college (4 year) are around 18-22. I think anyone that CAN, should go to a traditional school because OBVIOUSLY a traditional degree would be "worth" more then an online degree/testing out. This statement is true generally speaking from employers point of view.

Even if society believed that online/testing out was as good as traditional colleges you would still have the employers who would be biased against traditional schooling. If you have ever applied for a high level job with a lot of competition state-wide you would realize that the guy that usually gets the job is a guy that attended the employers college.

Hope this helps and I am sorry if anything I said offended anyone.
