Earn An Accredited College Degree Without Student Loans! Not a day goes by that reports of the ever-increasing costs of higher education are making the news. In order to earn that coveted credential we have to take on a mountain of debt to pay for it, right? And in the society we now live in if you don't have that coveted credential, it can be very difficult to get started in a good-paying career. What's a person to do? Good news...You don't have to take on a mountain of debt to earn an accredited college degree. In fact, it's even possible to earn a college degree for free if you know how the system works. And there are many ways to earn inexpensive college credits that colleges and universities don't want you to know about. Why do they want this information kept secret? Simple...because they are raking in the cash from your tuition money and they don't want the gravy train to stop. Earn A Debt-Free College Degree! is a book that explodes the myth that earning a college degree requires a lot of money (and a big student loan that takes years to pay off). The book shows you how to earn an accredited bachelor's degree for anywhere from free to no more than $15,000(and half this amount for associate's degrees). The best part about the strategies the book presents is that they do not rely on scholarships. That's the major difference between this book and all the other books on the market that claim they can help you lower your tuition bills. Nearly all of those books talk about scholarships. These books make it sound like businesses and organizations have scholarship money just lying around and they are just looking for someone to give it to. It all sounds oh so easy, doesn't it? There's just one problem with this...thousands of other students have read those same books and they are all applying for the same scholarships you are. It takes many hours of work to search scholarship databases, fill out all those applications, and write essays. And then it becomes a waiting game to see if a scholarship committee picks you out of hundreds of applicants. You don't have to worry about such an uncertain way to pay for college. There is a better way. Earn A Debt-Free College Degree! presents simple strategies that nearly anyone can implement. You don't have to be a stellar student with amazing grades, either. Your previous academic achievements won't matter. Here are just a few things you'll discover in the book: - Learn how to obtain textbooks for pennies on the dollar - Discover more than a dozen colleges and universities in the U.S. that don't charge tuition to any students who are accepted (and five of these don't charge room and board, either) - Find out how you can earn college credit that is accepted by nearly 1,900 college and universities in the United States by taking and passing one single multiple-choice exam. Most schools will accept up to 30 credit hours into a degree program from this type of credit. And it gets even better. It's possible to earn 30 credit hours with this strategy for under $1,000. - Discover how you can earn a four-year degree in only three years or even two years in some cases. - Learn how you can turn previously completed training courses through your job, volunteer organization, and others into usable college credit. Most colleges and universities accept this type of credit but too few know about it. - Discover the amazing educational benefits available for military personnel (either full-time, Guard, or reserves personnel). Learn how you can go from zero college credits all the way to a doctorate on the government's tab. - And many others. We've become accustomed to the idea that earning a college degree is something that is very expensive. It's time to destroy that myth. Let this book show you the way.

“Guides readers toward the road less consumptive, offering practical advice and moral support while making a convincing case that individual actions . . . do matter.” —Elizabeth Royte, author, Garbage Land and Bottlemania Like many people, Beth Terry didn’t think an individual could have much impact on the environment. But while laid up after surgery, she read an article about the staggering amount of plastic polluting the oceans, and decided then and there to kick her plastic habit. In Plastic-Free, she shows you how you can too, providing personal anecdotes, stats about the environmental and health problems related to plastic, and individual solutions and tips on how to limit your plastic footprint. Presenting both beginner and advanced steps, Terry includes handy checklists and tables for easy reference, ways to get involved in larger community actions, and profiles of individuals—Plastic-Free Heroes—who have gone beyond personal solutions to create change on a larger scale. Fully updated for the paperback edition, Plastic-Free also includes sections on letting go of eco-guilt, strategies for coping with overwhelming problems, and ways to relate to other people who aren’t as far along on the plastic-free path. Both a practical guide and the story of a personal journey from helplessness to empowerment, Plastic-Free is a must-read for those concerned about the ongoing health and happiness of themselves, their children, and the planet.
