degree plan for Social Science Social Media?
#1
Hi, Hoping for some guidance from this knowledge trust to keep me going without wasting time/money - thanks so much.

First of all, this is the best site! I used it to gain courage and to pass the Humanities CLEP. I used it to find out about the IAAP exams, for which I will be eternally grateful.

Now, at long last, I have my transcript from Excelsior's OneTranscript. Like many, I have a sob story: Self taught, accomplished, but no paperwork for various reasons - not even close...now 56 y.o. battling incurable (but hopefully not deadly) disease. My job has become tough with my health. I tried to return to technical work - earned a Geospatial Specialist certificate - I have a long background in CADD and mapping - but it's been a while & I can't get hired.

I am a transportation planner doing alot of administration, marketing and customer service. It's taxing. I am determined to get a degree so that if I need to retire early, at least I have the credentials to try something in the work force other than "Paper or plastic?"

I'm thinking maybe I should save my GIS credits for a masters. But having said that, here are my credits:
Delaware Technical and Community College
4 credits - Alg & Trig I Grade B

NC State University
1 credits - Intro College of Management Grade Pass
3 credits - Intro to Geographic Information Systems Grade A
3 credits - Principles of Geographic Information Systems (graduate course) Grade A
2 credits - Computer Cartography (graduate course) Grade A
3 credits - Spanish I - Grade A
1 credit - Data Analysis - Grade A

Central Piedmont Community College
3 credits - Intro to Geodesy - Grade C
3 credits - Georeferencing and Mapping - Grade A
3 credits - Principles of Property Mapping = Grade A

Central Carolina Community College
3 credits - State & Local Government - Grade A

CLEP
6 credits - Humanities

International Association of Administrative Professionals set of 4 exams
Exam 1:
3 credits - Information Systems
3 credits - Computer Concepts
Exam 2:
3 credits - Business Communications
3 credits - Records Management
Exam 3
4 credits - Management
1 credits - Accounting
3 credits - Human Resource Management
Exam 4
3 credits - Leadership
3 credits - Communications
3 credits - Organizational Behavior

Money is an issue and I do not qualify for aid. Any advice or lesson plan or next steps I would be profoundly grateful.
