This kind of thing makes me sick to my stomach. I was never able to attend college until now (I am 41) because of the amount of time it takes to really learn (you can skate, but I didn't want to) I go to an online university (Colorado Technical University Online) and am in my Junior year towards a B.S. It goes year round, each class requires a myriad of assignments, formatted perfectly, and the University is fully accredited. I hate the fact that mills like these are giving Universities like mine a bad name

I submit this fraud is what results when companies make a degree of ANY kind a prerequisite for hiring. As an example, in a former job, (As the name implies, I'm in IT) where the boss had a degree in English lit, and didn't know a the company decided that because of that degree he was more qualified to run an IT group, than soeone who had round 18 years of real-world IT under his belt.
