I am thinking of getting one of those life experience degrees, but before you say bad, read this ple

I have right at 90 credits towards my bachelor degree and almost $24,000 in student loans. I refuse to spend anymore money trying to get this elusive degree. I have thought about getting a life experience degree, however, all I ever hear is bad things and how they are fraud. If I have over 13 years experience in my field, and I have 90 credits already towards my degree, how come I cannot finish the rest of it with one of these degrees, and then an employer turn their nose up at it. Even the brick and mortar university I was going to, NO OTHER PRIVATE SCHOOL ACCEPTS THEIR COURSES AS TRANSFERS.

How come trying to get ahead is so badddd when it comes to someone wanting to get a better paying job?

And also, has anyone heard of Randford University?

Most of them are not even accredited colleges. Basically you are getting a fake diploma.

At least check them out before you get scammed.

Ranford is not accredited.

It's bad because you don't need any experience to get one of those degrees. They'd give one to anyone, and you having experience makes no difference. That's why claiming one on your resume is equivalent to lying about your education. You may think you have earned it, but they would have given you one anyway. So don't waste your money - just include your work experience on your resume.

I looked up your Randford university and the site screams scam. These sorts of %26quot;schools%26quot; would really give anyone a degree. An associates from a comunity college holds more weight, which is not saying much. The whole point of requiring a degree for employment at some companies is that besideds showing that you assumedly know what you need to perform your job, it also shows you have the commitment to complete 4ish years of schooling.

Honestly, you are better off finishing your Bacholers or just listing your work experience and that you have 90 credits on your resume.

If you feel that strongly motivated that life owes you a degree then just print out a diploma certificate with any popular PC publishing program and have it framed. Hang it on the wall in front of you. Feel the pride of your accomplishment. On your resume, list the degree but make you indicate it was conferred by yourself. You'll likely get questioned by HR on this entry, and in that case, be frank by stating you gave yourself a degree because you felt you earned it after all the hard knocks you had to endure.
