TESTIMONIAL

"I went to a state university and had over 112 credits when I suddenly had to drop out of college and get a job to help my family. Having a job is great, but not having a college education set me back. It was extremely frustrating because I couldn’t get interviews since I didn’t have a degree or that check mark. Years later, I went back to the same university to finish my degree and they told me I would have to complete an additional 60 credits to graduate. Thankfully, I found Janine at Smarter by 1 Degree. She explained to me I didn't need all of those credits and helped me graduate in 4 months!
