Now, let's take a closer look at this, and

expose just why these answers that you gave

are highly unlikely. You once claimed that you

were in the military in the mid 80's, then

worked for a while. Then you went back to

school (presumably because you had trouble

finding a decent job). Now a BS program

requires a 4 year course study at a minimum.

Frank was in the military (can earn you college credits)

"Yep. Tarheel U. has (had?) a program set up for jarheads in Camp
Lejeune."

and it doesn't
take 4 years minimum to get a BS degree. It is often done in 3 or less.
In fact, there are many who do it in less time. Many major universities
and schools have BS programs that take less than 4 years.

"Dave would know that already if he actually attended college."

Heck, you can earn a college "degree" these days without ever setting a
foot in a classroom.

But 20 years ago, that just wasn't the case.

That's not what you said. Let's take a look at what you said, again....

Now a BS degree program requires a 4 year

course study at a minimum.

Again,,no it doesn't.

You had a certain amount of credits that you

had to earn, and a required course curriculum.

And many of those credits can often be earned on the job..

Yes, it was possible to do it in less than four

years,

You're not a bit self-contradictory,,you're lenty self-contradictory.

but that required an overly ambitious

fast-paced schedule. Most people are not up

for that.

Yea, your view of your fellow man has always been one of disdain and
beneath yourself.

Night school allowed people to avoid many of

the "nonsense" courses, which were unrelated
to your major, that the full time day programs

usually required you to take. But the people

who took the night school route usually were,

like me, working full time during the day, and

could not take as many courses per semester

and, consequently, it could take close to 8

years to earn the B.S.
