In a truly functional world this would<div>be a completely reasonably way to </div><div>educate yourself. And mostly how you</div><div>do in the end. But as someone else</div><div>here pointed out, a more thick-headed</div>
<div>culture will not attempt to evaluate you</div><div>for what you know, over the short run</div><div>anyway, but will want to see that someone</div><div>else - a school - says you know something,</div><div>and has given you the papers that say so.</div>
<div><br></div><div>You approach is more like the English</div><div>university system, where you "read" under</div><div>someone for a year or more. They give</div><div>you guidance, and verbally quiz you now</div>
<div>and then to see where the holes are.</div><div><br></div><div>Perhaps the ideal method, but affordable</div><div>only by the rich.</div><div><br></div><div> -- Bob</div><div><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Feb 22, 2011 at 10:01 AM, Joel Freiberg <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jefrat72@gmail.com">jefrat72@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

ever did at GRCC, or Davenport. I do really like Davenport though, so<br>
that's not a knock on them. Just that I got my basics at GRCC,<br>
specified more at Davenport and just kept going through the library.<br>
Now I look for discount books through Amazon/Craigslist, or get them<br>
at the library. Much cheaper. :)<br>

I know of one person who went to ITT Tech and they are very happy<br>
with their experience. Though they are still in debt.<br>
