I had such high test scores that I actually tested out of needing to take college level English classes. When I go to apply to graduate I was told that I didn’t have enough credits and I explained that’s because I didn’t need to take English. I was then informed you still need a certain amount of credits to graduate so while I didn’t need to take English I needed to take something. I was forced to take a bowling class over the weekends to make up the credits in time in order to graduate. You pay for each credit a class is worth so I felt like that was such a waste of money.
I did a summer internship and heard I could get credits for it, makes sense since I'm learning on the job. Oh but wait, the college happily informed me I have to PAY for the credits they give me even though the college had literally nothing to do with the internship. So I'd literally be paying them just for .... ??? To make up the money they lost since I would be taking 1 single class less from them?
