AQB's latest dumbing down by 'Stakeholders' Dropping the College Degree Requirement

[djd09]

Please send it yourself. I'm sure your powers of reasoning will impress the AQB and others. It would be a shame to take credit for your cleverness.

why do they need input...they know it all...ask fall

It’s not “dumbing down”

It’s just increasing the value of the SRA and MAI like before licensing.

Have you ever seen anyone ask for an SRA designation?

Everyone starts of with a list....
The list rarely changes....

Just separate fees for me AQB on truth in lending disclosures on appraisal fees. I will send a comment on that. It will get throwed in file 13.

Watch.

Freddie will probably be much more impactful along with Joan and AMCs. LOL

No. It teaches you how pig-headed ignorant a Phd can be. You know why I dropped out of graduate school? Because my thesis advisor's wife packed up over the mid-semester break and moved in with the head of the department - who was also on my thesis committee. This is the same head that used to rail at students who shacked up. My advisor went half mad and neither man would talk to the other. How the L do you finish grad school when the head of the dept says none of the poor guy's students will get their thesis approved until "Zack" gives his soon-to-be-ex everything she wanted. I have every hour and then some required to get an MS in Geology. I passed the GRE with flying colors. What I don't have is that six hours of thesis work stalled by that Ahole. And I hung around half the summer until I simply had to get to work. Zack apologized to me later, but it was too late. I almost went back to another school, but I was promised that old "Ronnie" would give me a bad recommendation. That's how petty colleges are.

If you wanted to, you could get it counted now if you still have everything you wrote (and I bet you do!). That sucks but it sounds just like what happens in the work world these days. Always some plotting going on behind the scenes you aren't privy to. Nowadays the students (or their parents) would sue the pants off Zack and Ronnie with the price of a degree what it is. And how many people would even be getting an MS in Geology? I know exactly one person, who worked at the Assessor's Office with me. Senior citizens can earn graduate degrees for free in TN, probably all online to. My graduate school was all online.

Exactly, as AI will still require the 4 year degree, so they can go back to marketing the MAI as a "Masters Degree", lol

"...Senior citizens can earn graduate degrees for free in TN, probably all online to. My graduate school was all online."​

The increasing availability of accredited online degree programs has the potential to upend the entire "college loan" debate. Especially when (for most occupations) the employers don't care which school a worker attended.

CLEP testing costs $95 per course. English Literature, College Composition, College Mathematics, College Algebra, Calculus, Macro Economics, Micro Economics. They even offer the course material in PDF for cheap and practice exams for free. I don't think a student can earn an AA with all-CLEP courses but some of the ones who do accept 20 or 30 of the CLEP exams also offer their own coursework online. Nobody needs to leave home or go unemployed to get the education.

We have a family member who earned his BS/Computer Science and all the additional technical certifications for cyber security entirely online. It wasn't free, but he paid off his loans within 5 years of graduating.
