Work Experience Degree – Get What You Deserve

By:Nelson Widrow


I lost track of how many bags of Doritos I’ve eaten this week. If I sat up and looked underneath me, I bet I could get a lot better of an idea. Ah, but I don’t really want to do that. I’m really comfortable. In fact, I’ve been comfortable for…god, I guess four or five years now. Its not that bad, sometimes friends come by and my mom has called me before too. Although I do have one regret. Probably my only issue with my life dedicated to the ultimate acquisition of sloth (really I like to think of myself as a Western monk), is that I’ve acquired virtually no skills or experiences whatsoever, work or life derived. Normally I wouldn’t consider this a problem. That drastically changed when I heard about work experience degrees.



A work experience degree is a college degree that you can earn by using your knowledge and skills and experience instead of going to the classroom and laboratory and learning these things by experts, academics, professors and intellectuals. You may be thinking that even having a degree is something that wouldn’t appeal to me. Normally, you’d be right. But, through the work experience degree method, obtaining a degree is completely congruent with my life philosophy.



For those of you who are crying, “FOUL!” Quiet yourselves. This isn’t one of those “diploma mills” that just doles out undeserving degrees to any fool that fills out the online application. I’m talking about utilizing your native understanding of Spanish to pick up a Spanish 101 course credit. I’m talking about bring using a painting you did to grab yourself a little intro to art credit. Get the picture? That boring seminar on new methods in bookkeeping that your job sent you to just earned you credits in accounting.



This is legitimate, is reasonable and its respectable. The more knowledge you have gained in your jobs, travels and general life, the more college credits you’ll have with the work experience degree. There are several institutions that can help you with this, but the Thomas Edison State College is one of the best. This is because it has no restrictions on the number of credits you can acquire through work experience. So, for those of you that have done more in your lives than me (which should be just about all of you…if not call me, we’ll hang out), start making your experience work for you. Go get started on your work experience degree.

So, let’s not get to in depth with that one, except would it be fair to say that many of the things on that list would qualify as superficial? Ugh, I’m getting depressed. But, that’s a blanket generalization and certainly doesn’t apply to all.
