I couldn’t afford to go to college right out of high school, so I went directly into the work force instead. Ten years later, I am realizing that without a college diploma, I am getting overlooked for raises and promotions simply because I lack the education my higher-ups are looking for. However, I am more than qualified to do many of these jobs, because they are the same types of responsibilities that I have had for my entire employment history.

It wasn’t right and it wasn’t fair, but I didn’t argue. I just went out and found a way to grab those opportunities that I had previously missed out on with a life experience degree. These diplomas are given to individuals who can demonstrate a significant amount of knowledge in a topic gained through on-the-job training, seminars, and enrichment courses, and community service.
