Does any university offer the equivalent of a GED for a Bachelor’s degree? Would be a great way to get those with substantive work experience on the fast track to a Master’s degrees (so they can qualify for more senior roles/earn more). And minus the debt.
Another great opportunity to join the Leading Edge team!

“In trying to promote a positive culture, I was inhibiting an honest wrestling with ideas, which was hindering innovation and promoting some staff discontent.” @galicooks of Leading Edge @JewishLeaders writes about the importance of workplace feedback. ssir.org/articles/entry/how_…
