An MIT College Education Online For Free?

That's right! You won't be able to get your degree, or even credit for the classes, but you can take the classes to brush up on your knowledge, expand your mind for personal growth, or just learn something that's always interested you, online, from MIT, absolutely free!

They offer way too many courses for me to list, and they come with lecture notes, videos, exams, etc. No registration is necessary.

It's Not Worth Anything to the Simple if They Don't Pay for It

That's what Napoleon Hill said was wrong with the public school-system: it's FREE (to most of the people using it, anyway).

Another Good Thing about Online Education: Makes You Need ...

... the mind. When one expands one's mind to make -it- into a classroom, one sees the truth of lots of things. The ability to have PangeaCat in tight leather 'teaching' one with a horsewhip ... that's just icing on the bare b ... untcake.

I did a lot more research, and there are others...

MIT is still the most extensive list of available courses I've seen to date, but I did a lot more research, and wrote a Xombyte with links to all kinds of free college courses online. Berkeley, MIT, Yale... you can get the same education for free from all of those, for whatever classes they'll have available to you.. http://www.xomba.com/so_you_want_a_free_college_education_from_a_prestigious_university I think it's a wonderful thing! Now, I just need to figure out how many classes I can take at one time without losing my mind. LOL. Losing Weight and Feeling Great!

Learning

You are right: we have too many new informations every day and diplomas aren't good! You need only your mind.

Diplomas Are Only Good for Toilet-Paper Nowadays Anyway.

(Like Dubya thinks of the U.S. Constitution, apparently) But it's good to know that the knowledge is more-useful than memory-stretches ... sometimes ...

I feel the same way.

In fact, most of my friends have decided that I have a Ph.D. in B.S. I've passed most of my classes, throughout my high school career, while never having popped open a textbook. Frankly, many teachers were lucky I bothered to stay awake! But, school isn't that easy for everyone, even if they are very intelligent people. So, I wouldn't say that they're stupid if they don't pass a class. My uncle is a genius, but school was always very difficult for him. He couldn't handle it, and was a high school drop out. He was still the best computer engineer that Litton ever saw! He struggled through college in order to obtain a degree for a job he was already better at then any of the teachers. There's just something about school that doesn't click for some people, even if they know the material and are highly intelligent individuals. Losing Weight and Feeling Great!

Well, these days you need to

Well, these days you need to have a college degree just to get an interview - sometimes, just to be let in the door to drop off a resume. I think it's sad what employers do to these people. School is not for everyone, but that does not mean that only the incompetent don't go. Some of the most successful people in the world dropped out of college. A degree does not mean you're more capable of performing your job or duties...it simply means you completed your courses with a passing grade. And let me tell you a little secret: You have to try really hard to not get at least a 'C' in any class you take while earning a Bachelor's degree. In fact, you'd have to be pretty damn stupid to not pass, so to me, it's not that great a feat to accomplish and is entirely overrated and irrelevant in the hiring process. But that's just my first-hand opinion. *If you're interested in reading my articles, Click Here.
