I tend to go on and on about my love/hate relationship with Excelsior, but today something happened that made me stop and realize just what EC has done for me.
This is purely anectdotal, but then so is most all the information on this board. I do want to say my situation is the gospel truth.
For anyone who thinks being an Excelsior graduate makes you unemployable, or makes people doubt your abilities, I want you to know that within two weeks after I graduated I had three job offers. One agency has called me every week wanting to give me a job.
I was able to get a job in a field I was really ineterested in: home health. I am making (conservatively) about $54,000 a year after taxes. In Tennessee that is a good salary and I have found out today that just to be "on call" over a week I will get $150 extra. Big whoopie, you may say, but there aren't many fields where you can do this with an associates degree from a distance learning school.
At the risk of sounding like a corny tv commercial...thanks Excelsior.
