Re: College Acceptances

I am actually one of the few kids on each team who will not be pursuing a degree in engineering. Although I love engineering, design, build, testing, tuning, and you get the idea, after much prayer I have come to the conclusion that engineering is something I love, but it is not what God has for me in my future. Instead I will getting a bachelors in some form of business or accounting. I enrolled in a program called CollegePlus (http://www.collegeplus.org/) which is a degree in two years for $15,000 or less! A few of my friends have gone through the program and loved it. It works by gaining credits by exam for general education courses in your first year. They send you study materials and I use my textbooks from school to take exams and CLEPS to gain credits. Then in my second year I take any CLEPS they have aimed at my major, and enroll me in a college of my choice along with online classes to finish of my degree and gain experience in my field. Then I receive my degree from them and can go onto get my masters somewhere else if I choose. Overall, it is very cost effective as I can continue working allowing me to graduate debt free!

EDIT: To answer /\/\/\ 1519 has one who is either graduating this year or next (our driver to be specific). Don't know the exact academy he is attending.
