I didn't say you'd get a job out of it, but there are some of us that love to expand our knowledge in a multitude of areas for personal satisfaction and not just for monetary gain. Some of us know how to "read between the lines". |

I'm thankful this FREE option is still there, nothing wrong with putting it on your resume for a related field. Shows you've got good worth and up for continuous personal improvement and growth. |

Southern OR User ID: 20471008 United States 12/12/2012 11:03 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | These free courses could be used to an advantage at the community and university level. You could take the free course then test out of the "real" course. Saves time & money. "Well-behaved women seldom make history." —Laurel Thatcher Ulrich I am only one, but I am one.
