Well..... I can't help you with that. You could apply for positions that don't require a piece of paper, but if you choose to power through, you'll be the person they promote over the person without the piece of paper.
I have said many times that earning my degrees wasn't NEARLY as hard as I thought it was when I was in my late teens/early 20's. I felt then like you feel now- like it was this huge annoying mountain, too long, too much, blahhhh yuck. For me, the light bulb came on when I took my first CLEP, I mean talk about beating the system! For *me, whenever I'm dragging, I double down. I am very easily bored, and no way on the planet I'd have any degree if I had to wait 4 years. 2 was bad enough. I did the AA & BA in 18 months. Instead of a break, add a second or third class to your plate- get crazy busy. Aim for passing, not perfection. Bring the finish line closer and bust it out. Whatever your plan was, shave 6 months. People who run over hot coals never burn their feet.
