Some Americans honestly believe that you can obtain a Ph.D., or MA, or B.A., or High School diplomas, without attending classes or passing required exams, and conducting rigid research projects. These gullible Americans has spent millions of dollars on Diploma Mills to grant them worthless college degrees based on "Life Experience."

Rochville University, even states that they will verify your worthless Ph.D. for paying $600 to obtain their Degree.  Bedford University, which is ran by the same set of crooks who operate afordabledegrees.com, also has earned millions of dollars putting the "Sting," on lazy Americans.  If you have obtained a college degree from Rochville University or Bedford University, you are now on the FBI, no fly, and Homeland Security watch list, because these two bogus universities has granted over 100 Muslim terrorist their false degrees.  So use your money to enroll in a legitimate college which has been approved by the USA Department of Education.  Because it is also illegal to attempt to obtain employment, or promotions, using these bogus, "Life Experience Degrees,' in over 20 USA states.

Typical America thougt process. I want to lose weight...now and not have to sweat or stop eating crap...I'll spend money on those diet pills...I want a degree so I can make better money and have a career...I'll buy one. No one is into the hard work anymore. I busted my #### for my degree and my weightloss!

Well yippie for you(you feel the eyes rolling?).  So I guess you probobly feel that the credits my military experience gave me for school, which by the way only covers the basics of your education and electives, no the core courses, were a cheat.  Probobly just like the hydroxycut along with the time put in on the road and in the gym.  Common sense usually can dictate to many of us that a degree that is based solely on life experience can only be used as a placemat.

You know, you really need to watch what you say in public. You call the life experience degree schools crooks and that they are illegal in 20 States. As a matter of fact, you cannot use them on a resumé if applying for a government job or service  in seven states nor in applying for a US Government job nor in something government regulated like medicine. This does not cover private industry.

The fact is they are a $500,000 million dollar a year industry and have been around for years. No industry could stay in business without that kind of success. The fact is you can count on two hands the government applicants who used them very foolishly. The fact is the government cannot interfere in private business where two or more people contract together. Try calling the police and ask them if they would come out and arrest someone you were trying to hire and discovered a life experience degree on their resumé. They know better,  that they would get their city governments in lots of trouble for breaking many freedom laws.

Lots of professors complain that many idiots graduate from four year schools every year and they are forced to pass them to keep that tuition coming in.
Many of those with Life experience degrees make good advancement every year because they really are good at what they do. They just weren't born with a silver spoon in their mouth to go to Flakeoff U.  It is like anything else, if you want to be successful, you will.

It is interesting that Almeda University reports that they have had 0 Better Business Bureau complaints the past three years. No other school of any kind can report that. They are successful because they market a good product and have many satisfied students and Alumni. I have never been connected with them in any way.

Histprop, There was a time when a smart, hard working person could do well without a college education. But times are rapidly changing and this is no longer the case. Young, strong uneducated men have always been able to get fairly good job in construction. But as they age the job uses them up and spits them out for new strong bodies. An education is something wonderful that can never be taken away from you. Parents, do all you can to help your children get an education. It is a fantastic investment.
