“Am I too old for college?” | Q&A #4

[@ELCHUCKO666]

I am 52 and back in College. 2 More classes to go till Graduation (Bachelor's Degree from Excelsior University)

[@CollegeHacked]

Amazing work!

[@drzfinezt180]

Congrats! And I’m here embarrassed at 32 for feeling like “my time has passed”. Great inspiration sir!

[@ELCHUCKO666]

@@drzfinezt180 Well I finished my degree on August 20th. Can't wait to get that Diploma next month. I wish I had completed this 20 years ago when I was only 32. But I am 52 and still working and this Degree will help me get that last Promotion I am seeking before I retire. Good Luck with getting back to school. It is worth it...

" I just want us to stop being intimated by college" words to live by.

I'm so grateful for this information I can cry. I attempted school on several occasions at this time I'm looking to finish I want to become a lawyer. I’m currently working as a legal assistant! It's refreshing to see I can finish in 1 year. Thank you!

[@CollegeHacked]

This stuff makes me want to cry too because it rights a world of injustices and work that can be neutralized with simple strategies. You can totally do this, and I'm rooting for you!

In Virgina you don't need college to take the Bar exam if that interests you

Best way to 'fix the system' I think would be to make a federal law that state licensure can only be based on very related skills or knowledge (not taking specific classes). That would open up internships, Drs. training other Drs, etc. and drive the prices down. The focus would be on skills and knowledge, and not all of these half-baked hoops. Or we can just get rid of state licensure altogether. I only want the state to tell me my restaurant is clean and my dentist sterilizes their tools. The government isn't competent enough to tell me if my therapist or doctor are actually any good. I believe independent licensing programs would pop up if we did this.

Thanks for answering my question!

[@CollegeHacked]

Thanks for asking it. :)

On the 11 year old question: My daughter passed her first CLEP at 10. The sign up requirements are different because of children's privacy rules, and you cannot do online proctoring. So, it's do-able : )

Nice! Good on her! What test was it?

[@rhuwyn]

Regarding your comment about highschool vs college. I hated school. Like I am a person who really needs some kind of practical thing I want to accomplish in order to enjoy learning something. I always hated just going through the motions especially on gen-ED courses. Which is why I got into technology, although I'm finding now that to get past my blockers I have are gonna need some kinda degree just to show I have one. Hence...why I am looking at your College Hacking videos...

[@CollegeHacked]

If you’re still thinking about getting a degree, we’re still taking consultations 😎

[@ReviewsWorld]

What are your thoughts on Umassdartmouth, Purdue global and University of Wisconsin programs since they carry larger university names which can be beneficial.

[@sarnosidiq6212]

I already contacted Uni Wisconsin they only accepted Competency Based Education for US citizen, but they accept Online Semester Based Program from any country

[@ReviewsWorld]

@@sarnosidiq6212 so Purdue global and university of maine at presque Isle are the only good options

[@sarnosidiq6212]

@@ReviewsWorld I think so, but I will register again at UMPI to find out, I like UMPI cause they are public uni but they admission team work so slow to respond

[@ReviewsWorld]

@@sarnosidiq6212 Bro give me ur email or something and lets talk. Also I also like the UMPI course they also don't separate degrees for online so its not UMPI online. I think its good. the only possible issue is that its not a big name compared to Purdue (although idk about pursue global but a lot of alumni there did well in US). My plan is to do masters

[@mlee8468]

Appreciate you!

[@CollegeHacked]

Happy to help. Thanks for watching! :)

[@maggiecampbell97]

Do you have Patreon? Or is there any way to donate to your channel? Your videos have inspired me to go back to school! I start UMPI in January.

[@CollegeHacked]

Hey, that's super kind of you! Thanks for offering. If you want to donate money to my PayPal (paypal.me/CliffordStumme?country.x=US&locale.x=en_US), I'll use it to give a small scholarship to one of my clients who really seems to need it or who wants to do something awesome with their degree to help them pay for hacking credits.

[@CollegeHacked]

Thanks, Maggie! I'm going to match your donation and add it to others. And when we reach $100 total, I'll give it out as a scholarship to someone doing a month of Sophia. :)

[@aaronredis4020]

Thank you for your insightful videos. I really enjoy them. Per your recommendation, I am taking courses on Sophia-and enjoying the process! If I correctly understand SNHU's relationship with Sophia, it appears to me that I should be able to transfer 66 credits to my program, all of which I completed on Sophia. This will save me so much time and money. I cannot thank you enough for your guidance.

[@nubianpisces9874]

I’m taking courses with Sofia and looking At SNHU. Were you able to transfer all of your credits?

[@theguy3574]

Can you make a video on University of the People

[@CollegeHacked]

It's on my list to do. :)

[@fh7041]

HI i was trying to schedule a consulation but it would not give me a day to book it "no appointment this month" all the way to 2024.

[@CollegeHacked]

So sorry about that! Yes, I've been super booked up, but I just opened more slots in January! I'm also working to try to get my people who are scheduled very far out in sooner by bringing on a new advisor. Sign up, and if I can, I'll reach out to schedule a sooner time if you're able.

[@emmo22]

Umpi doesn’t accept Sophia .. Clep I can’t take cuz I’m an international student

[@CollegeHacked]

UMPI takes tons of Sophia and Study.com and StraighterLine. Happy to help you build out a plan in one of our consults! www.collegehacked.com

[@nofiukazeemolakunle3166]

I am always inspired to watch your videos. Please tell me if I can hack my degrees in Africa. If there are ways, kindly let me know.

[@CollegeHacked]

You definitely can. Get ready for a video designed for international students.

[@nofiukazeemolakunle3166]

I will be glad to have it.

[@briyo_8208]

As a fellow African I would really love a video on how to hack Uni’s

[@albertodecristofaro5605]

Hi, Dr. Clifford I have tried to book a private consultation on your website. I couldn't sort it out.

[@CollegeHacked]

Hey, Alberto! Can you send me an email at [e-mail]? I've got a waiting list, and I'm currently training another advisor to be able to help more people sooner. I'm just booked out until January right now. Sorry!

[@amartyasinha568]

Which online university is best for MIS as international students

[@CollegeHacked]

Probably Purdue Global’s ExcelTrack IT degree :)

[@emmo22]

Which university will take loads loads of Sophia credits

[@CollegeHacked]

University of Maine at Presque Isle :)

[@briyo_8208]

Great Video as always. I do think that us International Students want a US degree mostly cause of how hackable it is. In other parts of the world we aren’t granted the luxury of flexibility US Uni’s provide. I think making a video catered to International students would be a real help. I myself have had to spend so much time sometimes without luck, online researching on International Student Hackable Uni’s that will be recognized in my country. I might be going for UMPI then find another Uni for my Masters. I think a lot of International students would appreciate a video on how we could hack a Bachelors and Masters, what schools are best and how to apply to them . Personally a video on Liberty University, UMPI would be awesome. Especially LUO hacking which doesn’t have enough info out there like UMPI. Love your videos. Love from Africa🫱🏾‍🫲🏽
