That's good enough for me. The main reason I'm going for the Bachelors is to try to get into government employment which seems almost impossible. I retired from the Navy in 2003 and have been researching jobs on USA JOBS website and though a Bachelors Degree is almost always a requirement, there are also requirements such as the number of Upper Level credits you have and if you have the required courses etc. The closer I look at the requirements, the more I realize you need a pretty heavy hitter degree to enter many available fields. I'm very content w/my resume and a Bachelors would definitely be icing on the cake. I seriously doubt I will go on to my Masters, I want to smell the roses as they say. But who knows. I know TESC is the easier way to go but I lost respect for that school, I think I'll continue on w/Excelsior. I never had any problems w/them in the past. I think I''ll look into a few of the ECE/DSST exams to try and get my degree quicker. I'll keep looking at what might be a few of the easier ones. Thanks and good luck all.
