JENNR8R 0 #2 September 24, 2006 Yes, it's a lot compared to what I paid when I was in college. From 1970 to 1972 it was $15 to $18 per hour.What do you call a beautiful, sunny day that comes after two cloudy, rainy ones? -- Monday. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kenneth21441 0 #4 September 24, 2006 That is alot per sem hour. I am not sure how many courses that you had taken or what college that is but you could always find another college etc.... I went to University of Phoenix and enjoyed the classes and team effort concepts. Just had to know who was good team members and not go with the rag bags. UOP also took my military stuff and some of my other college credits. Best advice shop around if you are looking to change to a lower cost.Kenneth Potter FAA Senior Parachute Rigger Tactical Delivery Instructor (Jeddah, KSA) FFL Gunsmith Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeflir29 0 #5 September 24, 2006 QuoteUOP also took my military stuff and some of my other college credits. That was a huge factor in me registering with American Military University. They will give me A LOT of credit for all the stuff I did for 10 years in the military as well as my police training and probably some for what I do now. Up to 90 hours towards my Bachelors. I could have a bachelors after taking as little as 30-40 semester hours.
