Thread: DETC Success Stories

For those of you out there that are happy with your DETC accredited schools and degrees, now is your chance to electronically shank the RA-or-no-way crowd. What is your story? How have your degrees helped you?

Thinking I was to be done this Sunday, I put my AS in CJ on my resume and application. I was told that it was a factor that set me apart from the other applicants and helped me get the job. My employer, who has an RA degree had no problem with my NA degree and fully accepted it. I did have to go to him and tell him I needed one more class...But in the end DETC got me a good $30k + job a year.

I posted here before about my DETC bachelor's degree meeting the requirements for a higher position with my employer (a staff position at an RA technical college). I got an immediate $6k raise, plus I may have a shot at something even better coming up soon.

I decided to change major and supplement my 29 years old degree with more current one from DETC accredited university. This lead to HR approving something they didn't approve a year before I earned the degree, so I was able to transfer within the company to a more stable, better paying position. The timing was great as the other position was eliminated in major layoffs 6 months after the transfer.

I earned a diploma from DETC accredited college and became as a result certified by a respected recognized professional organization. This is also a good addition to my arsenal.
As in the industry this certification is a plus when applying for this type of jobs.

	Education Degrees Education Degrees Teachers play an important role in fostering the intellectual and social development of children during their formative years. The education that students acquire is key to determining the future of those students. Whether in elementary or high schools or in private or public schools, teachers provide the tools and the environment for their students to develop into responsible adults. Teachers act as facilitators or coaches, using classroom presentations or individual instruction to help students learn and apply concepts in subjects such as science, mathematics, and English. They plan, evaluate, and assign lessons; prepare, administer, and grade tests; listen to oral presentations; and maintain classroom discipline. Teachers observe and evaluate a student's performance and potential. They are increasingly asked to use new assessment methods •Public school teachers must be licensed, which typically requires a bachelor's degree and the completion of an approved teacher education program; private school teachers do not have to be licensed but may still need a bachelor's degree. •Job prospects are best for teachers in high-demand fields, such as mathematics, science, and bilingual education, and in less desirable urban or rural school districts. •Teachers must have the ability to communicate, inspire trust and confidence, and motivate students, as well as understand students' educational and emotional needs.

I have been good. I received my MBA in 6/10 from Aspen, and as a result I am in a higher pay grade at work which bumped me up 7K at the low end, and works it iself up to 10k at the high end in 3 years. Plus my new MBA gives me access to good side contract/work.

Good to hear from you again,

Abner... that is fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!! You will be paid back more each year than it took you to pay for your degree once. 10K at the high end ain't no chump change, either- that should make a significant difference in helping you reach your financial goals!

Thanks MC. $3,600.00 for an MBA was a simple no brainer for me. The ROI has been EXCELLENT! I mean, you can't even get some professional certificates for $3,600.00.

Have a good one broheim,

Abner :)

This really is a great post. There must be more stories lurking around out there since this was started last year.

Anyone else?
