Reply #4: If it's not "accredited,"

[OldLeftieLawyer]

it's bogus.

Go to a real school. Forget getting credit for "life experience." That's bogus, too. Go to learn stuff, stuff you didn't know, things that will excite you and make you want to learn more.

Go to a school with people you'd have not met before. Find out what it's like to question and be questioned in an academic setting where knowledge and critical thinking are prized. Find out how great you can feel when you defend a thesis of your own creation.

Go to a school and learn. Don't just try to find an online place to give you 'credentials,' because, I will tell you this, those 'credentials' will end up labelling you as a pretender, as someone who took a shortcut. People with real credentials will simply look past you.

"Life experience" is no substitute for academic rigor and inquiry.
