<p>I have been looking into taking CLEP exams to cut my time down in getting a degree. I have already been in business (with my husband, started a business, wrote proposals to get contracts, hired and fired people, expanded then moved the whole operation out of the country, sold it). Now I am working in a corporate environment and not getting anywhere. The “higher ups” stress very strongly the importance of a degree. So I need that piece of paper to “prove to them that I have a brain”, I guess. Even though I know many people with degrees - and quite frankly, I’m not impressed. So the social thing about going to a college, I can do without. If I could CLEP my way to a degree in a year or two, I’ll do it. I’m too old to be messing around. I just want to move up in my current career.</p>
