not to put a real fine point on it, but you were insisting they had to be "the best" because of the "degree" thingie - well almost, one does a diploma...

if you are counting on a degree to advance your (say it ain't so, reserve military career?)

otherwise I too am completely perplexed on the fixation to "have a degree" with no intention of ever professionally employing your qualification. up to you, I'm not paying . . . <g> nothing wrong with personal aspirations - so iffin' you want it, go for it.

Dude...what's wrong with a "Reserve Military" career? I've been doing the military (Active AND Reserve) for 21 years....why not retire, and get the pension?

As for you being perplexed, it's a personal thing. I'd prefer a "degree" at the end as opposed to a "diploma". Also, there are plenty of people NOT working in thier degree field. I personally know a Yale educated Lawyer that is now a cook at Disneyland Resort. He went through the KA in Hollywood. The degree doesn't make the person. And the Art Institute is an accredited institution, so I won't have a problem if I go that route.

Thanks for your input, and what did you retire as from the Navy?
