To College or Not To College
#11
AutumnCrown, think of this investment or future ROI for a second. You're preparing yourself by paying for you education now at TESU for X thousand dollars. With that Bachelors at hand, it will "bump" your pay grade many thousands higher per year than if you "did not" go to college.

Now, if you live 50-60 or more years, that $ you make each year gets higher than if you did not get the degree. All in all, you would probably make more than a million USD or an even greater amount than you would without your degree. So, is that X thousand dollars worth spending? My gosh, I would hope so!

My suggestion is to signup for Study.com to get the tuition discount on the capstone, cornerstone waiver, and the residency waiver discount. Just take a minimum of two courses from them and you're good to go! Take that courses you need for your current degree...

Next steps:

- Figure out which courses will fill the requirements for my degree
- Find the cheapest source of said classes
- Take all courses except two from Study.com
- Take Capstone
- Graduate

Does that sound about right?.
You forgot the last step...
