what are u talkin about. if they can make every kid in the country take tons of test like act or sat, and thats hasn't become GOOGLE material. than a company test could work. i think thats a great idea

not necessarily. you can learn about web design, php, html, and other programming languages etc yourself. but it's extremely hard to do. much harder than taking classes and learning from actual people. as much as strobe probably knows (I'm guessing about business and computer science.. possibly php and web design), most of what he learned was probably a combination of teaching & self discovery. Self discovery alone won't get you very far in comparison... it's just straight up easier to have someone else who knows what they're doing teach you, in any field. If you don't want to pay for school... go to the library... and good luck with that, lol. see you in 10-15 years when you finally know as much as what took me 4 years to learn.

The Marines wouldn't let me sign up when I wanted to earlier this year, so I'm going to Arizona State next year. I'm not sure what I'm going to do after that.

hahahhahah community college......Mcdonalds is looking pretty high up on your wanted list

Btw, a test given by a business would be unreliable... businesses don't necessarily teach the same information as they teach you in school. And if you were self taught, you'd be even more clueless, because you wouldn't know what you had to learn. If you were teaching yourself computer science, you might end up learning some C or whatever else, but you probably wouldn't learn about efficiency, coupling, cohesion, and other topics that you wouldn't even think of looking up. Also, you would constantly run into material that you don't understand, because you are only learning it. Understanding it might be easy, but in many cases, it isn't. That's why it's university level, not HS level material. Maybe you are within that .1 % of the smartest people on earth that actually can teach yourself massive amounts of difficult-to-grasp material, and do so fairly quickly (so that you can start a career at a reasonable age). But do you really think businesses should consider this a good option?
