Almeda University, just celebrated their one decade of being an institution that provides online degrees to adults worldwide. Almeda is one of the longest running entities that offer degree to adult based on their life experience.
They award Bachelors, Masters and Doctoral degree programs for mature students in a non-traditional environment. The operation and system of this university in giving out various degrees can not be compared to traditional online universities because as what I have said, Almeda awards degrees according to the life experience of their student.
Many of Almeda’s graduates make use of their degree to create a more impressive resume and professional background. And because the degree is based on one’s experiences, and not from the actual knowledge you accumulated during your course of college studies, it is highly recommended that you will just use this as a supplemental credential because not all employers consider a degree that is based on one’s life experiences.
There are alot of people in the world who don’t have a college degree. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that, but in some cases, it can hold a person back. Well I was one of those people.
Looking back, it may have been more psychological than a real problem, but I was looking at teaching English in S.E Asia and I thought that a degree would be helpful. I was sorta wrong and sorta right. Herein lies the reason for my blog. Perhaps it will save you from experiencing some of the challenges I had.
First of all a little about me, I am 37 years old and an accomplished professional musician. Well, perhaps not as accomplished as I could be. Money in my home state of Arkansas was getting harder and harder to come by. The thought of teaching English in Asia has always appealed to me. So it was time to branch out. That was early in 2007.
My problem was I never completed college and thus had no degree. I Googled ‘life experience degrees’ and decided on one. It was not a problem, quick and efficient. So far, so good.
I’m not going to tell you the country in S.E. Asia that I went to because I don’t want to burn any bridges, but my degree helped me get a job in a government owned school. I got my visa and all the required documentation. Everything went swimmingly for six weeks.
Then my boss reviewed my file and Googled the life experience degree school. That was the end of my career, at least at that school. He was polite enought, but there was no wiggle room, I was out.
I had a good friend who was working in Russia who said she thought she could help me. She was using a degree that had worked effectively for three years. It had worked with government and two schools. She gave me a code because she would make a commission if I purchased one, and she said it was the only way I could get one. I wasn’t sure what to make of it, so I looked it up.
It was a bit of a twist on the old life experience degree. They were using the names of closed institutions. I used my friends code and got a bachelors degree from them. It has turned out very useful. No problem with my new job. If my current director of studies looks it up, he will find it is closed. No way he can trace it and I am working away. Pay isn’t fantastic but it’s cheap to live here and lotsa sunshine.
With my degree came my promo code. If you would like to find out more, go to worryfreedegrees.webs.com and the code is SE1044.
If you have any questions, contact me at johnsiminton@gmail.com. Remember, when you purchase a degree I get a commission, but then when your friend purchases one, you get a commission.
If you are thinking of working in S.E. Asia, I might be able to assist you find a job. And, you’ll need a degree to work here. Cheers, John.
P.S. Google life exeperience degreesw suck and watch some of the YouTubes, there are some good ones there.
