By the way, I don't remember having to take a test to get into college.
I
have a BS in Computer Science and a Masters in Computer Information

I am sorry, but this is a poor example. First off, some colleges require a
basic
math/algebra and English test. Even where you don't have to take a test to
get
into college, you still have to take a ton of tests to graduate.


I agree and yes you are correct on basic requirements.

If your point is that you don't need a test to start something, then you
are
correct. But in many skilled professions, jobs, etc, most require some
sort of
test taking or licensing procedure. Please find me a college you can
attend that
will give you a degree for just showing up, and not taking tests.


As long as I paid my bill, they allowed me to go to class.
So what? Are they going to give you a degree because you paid your bill?
Were
by pass the class. you allowed to sit in on advanced classes without
passing earlier
pre-requisites, just because you paid your bill?

Agreed. In 76 when I was at college, for one computer class I had to take
trig or pass a test to take the class.

You were answering Guy, correct? You used my post as a qoute, I hope you
know that I agree with you. I'll take resonable arguements, like the one
with Guy
any day of the week over the BS, the others have tried spew.
