Take Inventory Of Your Skills
Where have you been in your life to date? Where are you now? Have you ever
attended college or a technical school? Have you served in the military? Or have
you served in an occupation which requires a license? Have you completed
correspondence courses? Have you attended private schools? What work experience
do you have? Has a hobby of yours allowed you to learn quite a bit about a
specific subject?
These experiences can result in college credit without having to take a
class. A method to investigate each possibility for credit will follow. Once
determination of your credits has been made, you may be able to pass over basic
college courses and move directly to advanced courses which will save valuable
time. Certainly you may stake courses which contain information which you
already know. But so many other things need to be learned. Why waste time? Don't
be modest. Claim all mastered courses. Then push on. Each term you wait to enter
the job market, someone else may move into your job. Take as many shortcuts as
your college and experience will allow.
As you have assessed your credits from various sources, you may be amazed at
the number. But do not feel you have been given anything for nothing. Learning experiences
obviously do not have to occur in college classroom or lab to be valuable or
equate to credits. In fact, colleges are now allowing college credit fort other
than classroom activities provided the experiences are equal to college level
work. You may have many experiences that will be helpful to become a technician
that will count toward your degree. But don't expect to receive transfer credit
without some effort on your part. Your pursuit of the transfer credits will require
that you do some leg work and research. Find out how to apply for an evaluation.
You will have to ask directions. And you will probably be given the run around.
Sop run around. Eventually the effort may pay off.
