Thankyou for such quick replies! I am afraid that I quite missed the bus on the ECE, as I can not schedule it until Feburary 2007.
I may not be able to look into actually taking class at a B&M college, because of the amount of time I have committed to my profession ( I barely have the time to study for these exams).
I did look into the TECEPs, but, I honestly wanted to do as few of those as possible, but never actually even considered them...if its 2 or 3, it really doesn't matter (til it hits my checking account

)
That independent study program fascinates me. I'll look into it.
