    The POINT is all of these arguments about Walden being a diploma mill
    are POINTLESS!!! I suspect a lot of people are disgruntled because
    they didn't get the "easy degree" they thought they were going to
    get, didn't check with their state about initial liscensure
    qualifications BEFORE they enrolled at Walden...by the way it's
    plastered ALL OVER Walden's website to check with YOUR individual
    state about liscensure...so who's fault is it again?? And finally
    people need to take a good long look at THEMSELVES and see if this is
    where the problem lies when they don't get the opportunities they are
    looking for! Blame the individual NOT the degree!!

    P.S. those accomplishments are only a FRACTION of the accolades
    Walden graduates have obtained!! I can direct you to a website if
    you have time to read THOUSANDS more if you like!! :) And with this
    FINAL comment! I'M OUT!!!
