Please don't judge me!

I came to find out that TESC doesn't actually allow you to major in Natural Sciences and Mathematics. No biggie, but there ARE other things I'm interested in and I would like to explore my options. I swear on my LIFE I will not "bug" you guys again about this and I am done switching things up, but I TRULY had no idea that my "major" actually was not a major and if that's the case, I rather pick almost ANY Bachelors that I can test out of. Please don't judge me. I'm being totally honest and, based on what I already have (see signature), I just want suggestions on what you guys think the least difficult/quickest/most affordable Bachelors degree would be for me.

You were all VERY right about employers NOT caring about TESC, COSC, etc. being on your resume. They even ask you if it's online and assume it as well! They are TOTALLY cool with it. I haven't ran into ANY snobby comments about it at all. It seems to be the norm and I am no longer worried about that and I am going to not fret the diploma. If I was to go with Nat Sci/Math it's a Bachelor of Arts, for that, I'll just go with any Bachelors of Arts. I find MANY of the B.A. "majors" interesting" and I'm sure you all know which one of them allows for the most testing out of/SL/ALEKS, etc.

You were already given suggestions on the thread you started a month ago here

Rather than take the approach that you are being criticized, why don’t you take the approach that you are being challenged.

Challenged to be honest with yourself. Do you have the FOCUS needed to study for and test out of any subjects? If you think you can, then maybe you should try one CLEP/DSST subject and see how long it takes you to master the information necessary to earn 3 credits. Then you can make an educated decision about how long it will likely take YOU to test out of 15-19 subjects required for a degree, and whether testing out is a quick and easy solution for YOU.

If not, then maybe you should go back to the plan layed out for you a month ago in this thread
http://www.degreeforum.net/excelsior-tho...kdown.html
for BA Nat Science/Math which would require that you take 4-5 courses to earn the necessary 18 UL credits for the BA Nat Science/Math and fill out the rest of your GenEd with SL courses or a couple of CLEP/DSST exams.

It is possible that you are the type of person that needs the structure of a regular course. You may lack the FOCUS needed to gather information, study for and pass CLEP/DSST/ECE/TECEP exams. You won’t know until you attempt a CLEP/DSST. On the other hand you may have an uncanny ability to take and pass CLEP/DSST/ECE/TECEP exams at the rate of two or three per week.

Again, what you may take as criticism (justly or unjustly) might really be a simple challenge to put in a little bit of effort to see if you in fact are a good candidate for testing out, instead of making assumptions based on what others have done.

Good luck with whatever plan you decide on.
