Racking up 50k+ in student debt isn't necessary with these tools at your disposal.
That's nice, but like Cardguy said, it's all about getting that piece of paper at the end.
Job interviews typically don't go like this:
Interviwer: "Oh it says here you graduated from Khan Academy, where is that located?"
Me: "It's an online learning tool"
Interviewer: "Welcome aboard"
Not knocking on Khan Academy, just pointing out the obvious.
I think you misunderstood what I was getting at. I didn't say to not get a degree, I said to combine khan and clep to offset the costs of the degree. Clep alone will save someone thousands of dollars and numerous hours of time in a classroom. Their tests are accredited for most schools in the country.
Why go to math classes or micro/macro economics and pay 1k+ per class when you can learn the subject matter on Khan for free and take a clep test for 80 bucks?
