Hello resourceful people! My name is Tony, I'm 38 years old, I manage 60 people on a help desk and I have 0 college credits! It's time for me to change that and I want to take the smartest straight-line path that I can. I googled "how to get a degree quickly' a few days ago and it led me to bain4weeks.com. I guess I was different than some I've read about where I didn't a get smart quick scheme, but I was fascinated by the wealth of information that was given out for free. After hours browsing through the site I click the "BS in Business" link and was in awe at how Lawrie detailed the test that I needed to take as well as directed me to the necessary resources need to prepare for the exams. What I also noticed was the copyright on the site being up until 2004 so I started wondering if the information is still accurate? I'm actually looking at Excelsior's Bachelor of Science in Business with concentration in Marketing as the degree that I want to pursue. I know it's far from what I'm doing now and that's because I'm over IT.
I've seen a few people on here post their Degree plan, but honestly I'm still completely lost when it comes to putting together the exact exams that I will need to take to complete my degree. I would like to accumulate a GPA, but again I'm still not clear if it's completely necessary to swap certain exams just for the two digit grade. Lastly, my ultimate goal is to test out of this degree and go right into my MBA which is put me close to being on track at my age. Can someone offer me remedial education on how/where I start putting my degree plan together? Do I have to enroll in Excelsior before an advisor will advise me on this plan?
Thanks a million and you guys are a huge inspiration to those of us that thought we had to attend College for 6 years to get a degree while working.
