So many are in this boat, though; having the chops they've built informally but not having the paper to get in the door.

I really like WGU because it focuses on competency rather than time in a classroom. I hope more educational orgs follow suit.

That said, my wife, who is getting a Master's in Nursing from WGU, is learning plenty -- but she can focus on the actual learning while testing out of areas that she already knows well.
