Getting College Credits for Military/Work/Life Experience?

While your military and work experience may have been valuable to you (and the country), it counts for nothing with accredited college programs. CLEP and challenging courses are your only option, and there are unit limitations about how much you can do this to apply to a degree. Basically, you'll have to take nearly all the classes to get credit for them. I had 20 years of experience and was at the top of my field, when I decided I wanted to teach the subject at colleges. My experience counted for little, except that I knew that most of the professors were unqualified to teach the subject, since most of them started teaching straight away after getting their PhD and wouldn't be able to get hired for a real job if their lives depended on it. But that's how the system works. You have to get the approval of the system to prove that you can do what the professors say, regardless of how wrong they are. The good thing is that most adult students do much better than the average college kid, so getting straight A's isn't very difficult.

How does this Lilith story sound?

Wow, first I would like to say you are awesome for having an open mind. You may want to dig a little deeper into those legends though. You should read the Pseudepigrapha books (those left out of the bible when they made it). There you will find that it was God and the angles that wanted her to take a submissive position under Adam. When she refused the angles caught up with her fleeing somewhere by the sea and threated her with a curse if she didn't. However she refused anyway and had many demonic children. perhaps to spite. Some texts also say that she was not created by God,but rather summoned from the great abyss. Some also say that she later came back to Adam and raped him to beget Cain and that both her and Adam were hermaphrodites.

Would an older dash fit my Veedub?

I have a 73 super-beetle that I am doing a complete strip down restoration on and need a new dash. I really don't want to put in a new plastic one since plastic cracks and it would run me like $450ish. Can I cut out a metal dash from an older bug to put in it?

98 chevy prizm ac issue?

I was given a 98 chevy prizm to drive, and the ac does not want to work. Very very rarely it will turn on and blow air, but maybe once in two months. The controls on the dash don't seem to turn do anything except when it randomly comes on. We had problems with the cig lighter but I replaced the fuse and its working again. I went thru three fusebox areas on the car looking for a blown fuse or relay, the one on the drivers side, and three under the hood, and found nothing out of the ordinary. Last time it kicked on when I started the car and plugged my phone into the charger. I'm guessing some wiring issues or a loose connection, but I don't know enough about the car to figure it out. I hear the ac is a common issue, any help?

Is it okay to wear a flowery printed dress to a job interview?

With a simple black sweater. It's for a server/bar-tending job at a classy restaurant. It's not an distasteful outfit, but I'm still wondering if it is appropriate.

What are some decent paying jobs with short term certification?

I am a 48 year old woman who is a bookkeeper. Desperately in need of a change and/or advancement in career to better provide for my family. Looking for ideas for opportunities with certification that does not take too long. If anyone has any ideas they would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all in advance for your input.

My daughter started SMOKING... Should I make her eat it?

We found my 19 year old's pack of cigs next to the sink. She says, she only smokes socially at parties, now and then. My grandfather made my uncle eat a cigar, when he found him smoking one. It is distasteful, but it did the trick. He NEVER smoked again. I don't want my pretty girl to get yellow teeth and nails and smell like an ashtray! HELP!!!
