Is College Worth the Investment?

[bigfoot]

My friends daughter recently took the CHSPE, and passed and was given her "certificate"...which means she's now eligible to attend a community college or Cal State school. She was flirting with the idea of using her certificate, to go to school out of state, but has found that not all states recognize the "CHSPE" certificate in order to proceed to post secondary education. Strange, the military accepts it as the equivalent of a GED or high school diploma...yet some states don't recognize the credential...seems like how it is when some people go out of state with a CA State approved degree, and find that reciprocity is not always forthcoming, (when it should be)...it is legal and validly conferred, just that some states look at it with a hairy eyeball...I bet if a person really pushed...they could also get the CHSPE certificate recognized as being legal, valid and usable in all states. I don't know how this relates to the acceptability of state approved degrees, but it does bring up some interesting legal possibilities...hmmmm...maybe someone will begin to explore this dilema
