Thanks Jennifer for that help. The thing is at OSU the degree is in Natural Resources, which is completely different than a Natural Science. I have my heart set on this degree as all the classes they offer I would love. Well not really, but I would find somewhat interesting. LIke Biology of Fish, or Wildlife Conservation, just naming a couple to give you an idea. BUT I know it is going to be SO HARD, and I hate to waste more money having to retake classes if I fail or end up dropping. The degree requires 180 credits, which is CRAZY. I calculate that maybe 30 of my current credits will transfer.

I keep changing my mind, and I just need a plan and stick with it! Financial aid is what is going to persue me as well. I already have $25K in loans (yes OUCH) and I STILL don't have my AS! ARGHHH..I fell I am up shits creek at this point. SO depressing, I have been studying my butt off and I feel I have nothing to show. I want a REAL good degree so I can have a GREAT job in the environmental field. I feel overwhemed at times, because I have no set plan.

My current job is building a research center studying the Hudson, we estimate the opening to be in approx. 6 years. I NEED my BS or better yet my Masters to even be considered for a DREAM position once that is completed. Right now I am an Admin Asst there. They know I am going to school for Env Science, so that is why they keep me around, HAHA.
I really am not sure if they would "frown" upon not having a "tradional" degree...at least OSU will look GREAT on my resume, but in the long run they will know I never actually went to Oregon.

Well I am off to my community college tomorrow to speak to yet more advisors and the financial aid office about my perdicament I am in now!
