So true. If there is nothing else that I or you or anyone here should do, we should teach others that there are other choices out there beside UOP's very expensive junior college or comparable institutions. For example, if you live in California, community colleges are very inexpensive and many, many courses are available and easily transferable. Why would you not go that route? Because they don't advertise like the well-known schools do. And that is a shame.

I am doing quite a bit with online high schools these days and there are very expensive, moderately expensive, cheap, and free options. I try to teach folks that, while money shouldn't be the sole decider, you should explore all of the available options.
