Instant Doctorate November 11, 2007

Posted by thinkphd in : Miscellaneous , trackback

From time to time I receive spam advertising a fast(er) track to a degree. Today I received one for a doctorate which caught my eye. This one is only $75; or about .02% of my expected cost of a doctorate. I can even pick the degree and the specialization!

There is a catch though; my $75 goes as an offering toward the support of a church somehow affiliated with the school. I suppose this adds validity or is supposed to make me feel as though I am doing something “worthwhile” while obtaining my degree.

I read over their literature and checked out the site. I had GoogleAdSense ads all over it. Seems as though that may be another revenue stream for the organization. After much consideration (NOT!), I have decided to stay the course and continue my education at Northcentral.
