Hey guys, I'm wondering if I even need to go to college.
You see, I was poking around the internet when I came up on this http://herkimer.smartcatalogiq.com/en/2 ... ram-ACTPEP
and this
https://clep.collegeboard.org/ (apparently mostly only for people enrolled in a college).
Now, while both of these allow me to get college credit for colleges, I was wondering if there were any applications beyond skipping some college classes.
Mainly
Can I get any college credit without going to college? Can I get a job that requires a degree without going to college?
I want to go either into a Chemistry, Material science, Geology or Meteorology.
While I'm almost sure that this doesn't exist, I would like to know if any of you have resources you can share.
If you don't have any resources, I would like to know from those of you currently in the job market how much which college I attend will affect my ability to land a job.
Thank you.
