    This is the OP. He was upfront about it being a hobby.

    If you want a degree, then go above the masters and try your PhD in Biology... (Go for gold).

    Open yourself to advice on almost any board and you will get kind advice with approval, as well as not so kind advice that is loaded with disapproval. Some of the members here are often less than polite, but you might find more use from their comments than you do from those who are pleasant. I know I have learned a lot in the past from members who have been less than gentle with me.

    As far as collecting associate's degrees, if you enjoy it, you should go for it. I wonder if you would be better served by collecting higher level degrees since you have some impressive classes that you have completed. You are obviously and extremely intelligent individual. Best wishes to you. Keep us informed on your success.

    Hard to proceed with you watching and drooling. Can you at least put the binoculars down?

    The Proctologist
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Of all the professions we fear, one stands out. No, it's not "mortician;" by then it's too late. This is a word that makes a certain part of our anatomy pucker in anticipation. Yes, the word is "proctologist;" the dreaded p-word! The mere mention of the word strikes terror deep inside most of us. 9 1/2 of every 10 adults would prefer a root canal over a visit to Dr. Finger. (Source: I Made It Up Survey) The other half is into that sort of thing.

    Proctologist; from the Greek meaning "pain in the ass." Did you ever wonder who was the first proctologist? My research shows it was Dr. Ben Dover, who was fed up with mainstream medicine and wanted to boldly go where no one had gone before, "I think I'll devote my life to making people as uncomfortable as possible... since dentistry is taken, I'll start at the other end."

    Have you ever gone to a party and been introduced to a doctor. After a hardy handshake, you discover he's a proctologist. Even wash-ing your hands 6 times, you still find yourself only eating with your left hand. He is the one doctor you never ask for free advice, "Doc, I've got this thing right here, can you take a look at it? But he's one person who's seen more assholes than you'd find at a political convention.

    Throughout the ages, proctologists have been the butt of many jokes; butt I would not stoop to that level here. I have given a considerable number of minutes to formulating ideas to improve people's concept of these doctors of the down under.

    o Proctologist's advertising shall NOT include phrases like:
    "Let our fingers do the walking."
    "We'll bend over backwards for you."
    "Please, take my seat."
    "We give 'Moon over Miami' a hole new meaning."
    "It looks like the End."

    o Doctors will not be allowed to use wise cracks or ice breakers like:
    "I can't place my finger on it, butt you look familiar."
    "Don't have a seat, I'll be right with you."
    "Quick, nurse! Get the camera! They'll never believe THIS one!"
    "Yes, I see a family resemblance."
    "Hmmmm, looks like you're a quart low."
    "The first three feet might be a bit uncomfortable; after that..."
    "Out of K-Y Jelly? Oh well, let's do a dry run."
    "I'm putting you on a low-bean diet."
    "Nurse, give me a number 2 sandpaper glove."
    "How long have you had this crack in your butt?"
    "I see you had pizza last night."
    "When was the last time you had a lub and oil change?"
    "Nurse, come here. Ya want to feel something really weird?"
    "Ooops, I think I lost my watch."
    "I've never seen stalagmites growing in one before!!"
    "If you think that was a pain in the ass, wait till you get my bill."
    "Gee, I hope I can get this out."
    "When was the last time you had your barnacles scraped?"
    "Nurse! Who let this asshole in my office?"

    oh seriously? A public forum, in which support/approval/suggestions from total strangers is solicited as an introductory post. Sorry, but this kind of thing generates 4 pages inside of 24 hours. The ONLY thing that could have trumped his first post is if those AA degrees were from UoP. And since I'm feeling snarky, the only free degrees are ones funded through employers and Pell Grants. So, there's that. (for someone else)

    And, since I'm feeling really REALLY snarky, let me say that someone who has completed a number of AA degrees via B&M school comes onto a DL board fishing; under the assumption that all he has to do to earn a DL degree is fill out a few forms and he'll add to his collection. FWIW, his college, Macomb CC, offers online learning...and yet, I'm sure he thought we were going to enthusiastically toss out the names of a bunch of mills. Since "I" take pride in my online learning, and consider it a valuable option for others, it generally pisses me off when people diminish and dismiss the value of DL degrees....all that assuming it was even a legit post. I'm still not convinced we weren't played.

    If so, what did any of us lose? I'm still not convinced that your name is really "Cook," but after all this time humoring you, I've not once had to amputate any of my limbs.

    Ted, I agree 110%. HOWEVER, I think this entire thread has become:bsflag:

    Truth be told I believe the OP is just tyring to screw with the members here. This thread has become nothing more than that (see flag for clairfication).


    There are folks out there that honestly want/need assistance with their educational endeavors. Not this 100 AA degrees in two weeks bull. :poke:

    Yeah, but you are an easy target for cheap shots.
