Since my college educational experience was mainly taking a midterm and a final, why not a midterm and a final to the general public, who can earn the degree by passing the tests (with no college "experience" needed)? It's the only ethical thing. You performed the same as the students. You get the degree. Plus, at a fraction of the cost, if any. There could be testing centers throughout the US. Perhaps you would have to be accepted to the college to take the tests, but that is missing the point that these students are performing at the level the on campus students are doing.
This system could also be set up by the government without the need to be college affiliated. You could get your USA_Freedom_Degree.
