Major: Education (This Major's Salary over time)
I have both positive and negative comments and therefore more of an advice issue. The education I received at PCC was top-rate. I actually enjoyed the emphasis on spiritual walk and academic scholarship. The rules did not bother me as I knew exactly what I was signing up for and therefore never regarded them crossly. I intentionally chose a college with social restrictions etc. because I felt that college is a time that some of my peers went "crazy" being away from home. I did not want to be one of those statistics. Thus, saying I received both my BS and MS degrees from PCC but was utterly unprepared for the reaction I received to PCC when I tried to obtain certification and later transfer my credits to get my PhD. I say unprepared because I enventually prevailed (with God's help) and obtained both my teaching certification and my principal certification (state certification) without additionally coursework. Cogently, I again received "NOs" when applying for my PhD. I did again prevail through continued appeals, prayer, and high GRE scores etc. I am now finished with my PhD coursework and am a PhD candidate at a a state university feverishly working to finish my PhD.

I am considering PCC for my three children but the advice I have is if you realize you should go to PCC because you feel God is leading you there and you want a quality well-rounded education make sure that the road will not be easy to transition your academic scholarship into what the "world" recognizes and you will face roadblocks. If you can handle adversity then you have no problems.

commentYou should not be allowed to receive a PhD. Someone screwed up letting you into the program.
questionI am looking to attend PCC next year for an Education degree and was rather concerned when I saw your comment about "facing roadblocks" with the world. Do you mean that secular schools will not accept your degree? Do you mean that it is difficult to start teaching in the world after PCC?
