[Voxhaulf]

Your Location: Qatar 

Your Age: 30 

What kind of degree do you want?: Bachelors (preferably or willing to get another type of degree if it allows me to move to Japan)

Current Regional Accredited Credits: 0

Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits:0

Any certifications or military experience?: CCNA (but i undertook the course just before reaching high school and could not undertake the official cisco test due to moving countries and have no dealt with IT overall since ) 

Budget: 10-12k USD (preferably lower, but wouldn't skimp if it meant a good degree)

Commitments: Working weekly rotating shifts full time 6 days on 2 days off (6AM-2PM , 10PM-6AM , 2PM-10PM)

Dedicated time to study: 3-5 hours (Free time after work , no specific limit could be more)

Timeline: Starting this month and graduate as soon as possible 


Tuition assistance/reimbursement: None

First of all would like to genuinely thank everyone here for all the help and experiences provided, until recently i had no idea that self paced ,online and accredited university studying was even possible.

I am currently residing in the middle east working full time (UK citizen but grew up scattered so i never qualified for any country's student benefits) , no having a degree steered the course of my life in a direction i am unhappy about.

I have 2 goals depending on the outcomes , if i do manage to study something sought after like Computer Science , Cyber Technology and the likes i might stay in my current country and find a better career , unfortunately this country does not accept any degree that clearly states it has been taken online.

Second goal : i might use the degree as a stepping stone to try and move to Japan as it is something i always had in mind growing up.

Unfortunately i grew up in an environment with little to no guidance and counselling and i am worried about the whole studying process as i have not studied (especially maths) for a decade and i will have to basically start from zero.

realistically i would have wanted to try and opt for a traditional university and try to study engineering but in this country it is impossible due to high costs and non compatibility with my work schedules.

There's no chance of getting tuition or any sort of help from my employer , it has been pretty clear that we are only viewed as human cattle.

I would appreciate if someone can guide me on how to fully organize my academic future as i have never had to deal with university systems, Sophia and the sorts , did some basic research tho.

At the hope of sounding cliche but i genuinely thank all of you 

P.S: I looked into WGU and its a shame it does not accept non US residents, sounds like the perfect way to go
