Just don't delude yourself that your degree is from "Harvard". Nobody at Harvard believes that, except those who went to the Extension School, who will spend the rest of their life justifying their choices.
But then again, it is your money and your life. It just sounds like overkill.
You're right. I'll just go to Strayer University.
I don't suppose that will help me get into grad school at an Ivy but hey, it's only my life and my money.
Believe me when I tell you that I've kept my head clear about what choices I have and their various advantages and disadvantages. I think I made it clear in earlier posts that I didn't consider an ALB to be of an equal weight to a BS from Harvard College. I am grateful that you chose to remind me, however.
Maybe you could start at the beginning of this thread and locate for me where I was soliciting advice on educational options vs travel ones.
OH, and BTW, I got an appointment from the Secretary of the Navy to attend Annapolis 15 years ago but had to drop out for other obligations after only two years. I don't need a Harvard degree to feel good about myself.
