Hello all I am new to this forum. Please bear with me as I type this on a cell phone as my computer at work will not allow access to the forum.
I have applied and been accepted to TESU. I originally enrolled with the intent of the Bachelors of science in homeland security. My military ed. transferred over and I did a bunch of FEMA classes so I sit at/around 50 hours complete in the bachelors program. However, I was advised by my ed counselor (military) to do my associates first due to work conflicts. So I switched to the associates that is associated with that program and am looking at roughly 38 hours completed. Ironically all core classes (English and math) the subject matter I am horrible at is mainly what I require.
Now the issue is after due consideration and job searching (feeling out my options as I look towards retirement) I have realized that there are few jobs in that degree field that I will meet physical and age requirements for upon retirement (I will be 39). So I was considering switching paths to a business associates with plans to move into a bachelors program upon completion of associates. However, as the associates that coincides with homelands degree does not transfer well to a business degree I lose a lot of credits. What do y'all think is the best path?
Also is straighter edge really worth it to get the ACE credits for math and English? (As these are my horrible subjects).
Any help is greatly appreciated and if needed please ask for clarification as I'm sure this is not even remotely grammatically correct as I'm using a cell phone lmao!
