Now I realize why so many of you went for 2nd Bachelors! (TESC Enrollment Fee)
#8
CollegeStudent7 Wrote:Ahhh I see. Well I just need ANY Bachelors to have more doors open for me in regards to positions. While I can get work now, having a Bachelors definitely gives me a little more leverage.

I had this idea that I could finish up a BA in Liberal Studies (or even Psychology) really quickly and then take my sweet time finishing my 2nd degree in something a little more specialized. I will even take an entire 8+ months (however long I have from the time I pay that enrollment) because this 2nd degree will be more for self satisfaction and something even nicer to slap on a resume. Wink I don't mind if the 2nd Bachelors takes forever, so long as I pay enrollment once.

My 1st BA I need ASAP (within 3-5 months), if possible, although I will not die if that doesn't happen as I'm getting pretty steady work right now through a temp agency and loving the flexibility.


You're moving the goal post. Watch:

while not enrolled, earn all but 6 credits over the course of x months. Pay enrollment. Finish 6 credits and graduate.

or

while not enrolled, earn all but 6 credits over the course of x months. Pay enrollment. Finish 6 credits. Don't graduate. Earn 30 new credits ($) spend an additional 8 months at TESC. Graduate with a double major in a significantly different area.

Couple things- if you go with liberal arts first, your only choices for a second degree are business, technical studies, or nursing. If you go with math/nat science first, your choices include anything from the humanities or social science.

You can't get 2 degrees if you graduate, that ends your first enrollment and you pay a graduation fee. This works if you go from an associate to bachelor, but with your bachelor to bachelor you're going to need to do a double major or get 1 degree.

IMO this is a bad, long, expensive idea. This is not why so many go for a second bachelors, in fact, I don't know that so many do. I can probably count the people here (who have done that) on my fingers.
