MarkT Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 another example where US education system has excessive credentials just to help out: http://forums.welltrainedmind.com/topic/667635-graduating-college-at-18-with-a-co-chosen-major/page-4?do=findComment&comment=7993108 "luuknam: This isn't about me. But, for example, the kids this thread is about graduated with engineering degrees. They're not going to work as paras in my school district to get tuition benefits. Neither am I, for that matter - I'm not sure about my current school district, but my previous district required an AA in childhood education (I asked my kid's para), and paid peanuts - because of the courses I already have, and the courses I'd need, in the time it'd take me to get an AA in childhood ed, I could get a BA in mathematics " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiana Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Heh, the differences by state are interesting. In my state, you can use any 48 hours or a test to show that you're literate and numerate to a sufficiently high degree. Although I think it's pretty sad it takes 48 credit hours to tell that you're literate/numerate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
