Getting a affordable Life Experience Degree for Bachelors Masters Doctorate?

We Answered:

A "life experience" degree--i.e. the kind you send away for with a list of "qualifications" and get in the mail in a few weeks--is not a real degree and will not be taken seriously if your prospective employer bothers to look it up. These are diploma mills profiting from common wisdom that you learn as much or more from life experience as in the classroom. And true as that may be, you can already list work/volunteer/military experience on your resume and it will be valued as such. Using it as both experience and education is redundant or dishonest or both, and the "school" granting these is misleading people into wasting their money for a worthless piece of paper. Most jobs are looking for classroom AND work/life experience. One will rarely substitute for the other, and shelling out money to try to beat that will only be a waste (and may destroy your credibility).

There is such a thing as a *real* degree earned online, but make sure of what you're getting into. If it sounds too good to be true--cheap, fast, with little or no actual coursework--it probably is.

Joan Said:

Can I become a military officer with a life experience degree??

We Answered:

Go for it. I'd recommend getting a life experience PHD. They usually will start you off as a Major if you have one of those. Life experience degree's are more respected than University degrees in the US Military. Often you can get out of going to OCS with life experience MBA. By doing this the military will know that you all ready have proven leadership qualities.

Good Luck

Is holding a life experience degree illegal?

We Answered:

A life experience degree is not illegal, but it's also not recognized as a degree by any employer. Stating that you have a degree in this case would be reason for termination of employment.

Mattie Said:

I think that life experience degree are more valid then the standard degree?

We Answered:

Sure. I know lots of college graduates who are outdoing people without college degrees, therefore a college degree is more valid than life experience.
By your logic, my argument is just as valid as yours.

By the way...isn't getting a college degree just a different way of experiencing life?
