The equivqlqnfybqs a vocational might help in an interview - until a real College graduate turns up, so again It is a con. Only peollle this would work for is retirees, the totally bored and the unemployed, so what are promoting is fool's gold. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 22188579  France12/13/2012 04:08 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Thank you very much for posting this! I always knew of the MIT courses but this is much better I think. I am going to look into it seriously and see what they have and sign in for a couple of courses or three. Astronomy is tempting and there is so much more! This is the wonder of the world wide web it can be done from anywhere any time. |

Next Session: Jan 28th 2013 (5 weeks long) Workload: 3-4 hours/week  In every freebie ther's a catch... If you were really determined to get a degree, these courses should give credits in order for one to enter into further study, especially when such esteemed lecturers give up their time to do this fantastic venture, because outside of the virtual world, these certificates don't really have any weight now do they? So the site just becomes another place to learn - whoch you can do through self study on the internet, so I am wondering, OP, whats the point of this again? You must be a real joy to be around, probably get invited to many social gatherings as well... They are offering your professional tutoring in today's premier subject for the price of your OWN time... I can't really say anything else without being vulgar and crude. 1 Day... U will find what U R l00kin' for. |

Some of the courses take 5-10 hours / week. Since most people vegetate infront of a television for a few times more than that, you should be able to find time. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 340808  New Zealand12/13/2012 05:05 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | People who use these education resources will not just be your average joe who needs to 'land' a job. It will include smart self-employed people upskilling continuously to maintain a diverse edge over the degreed and employed who are to lazy and content with what they already know. As an employer myself, I value current knowledge more than a historic piece of paper saying someone received a degree 5 years ago. Just like there is a difference between, think and reasoning.. There is a difference between learning and knowing. |

[link to skreened.com] The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who in the name of charity and good will shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers! And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee!"
