Which College?: New and Overwhelmed.

[SaebScholar]

I am so thankful for this site, I have been reading through the forums and the wiki. The only issue with reading the forum is that I am ending up seeing snapshots along the length of a few-year timeline with often contradicting information. I would start to put together a plan in my head only to find a thread where such and such college had a major change, making them less optimal.

To avoid asking for an entire Plan all at once without attempting myself to put forth the effort, I will ask simply: For someone with only about 18 random college credits mostly in electives and no degree, which of the Big 3 is t he FASTEST to get a Bachelor's? I don't care what area of study, because ultimately they all seem to be beneficial in my growth as a person in some way, but my main reason for getting the degree is to be able to enroll in programs like JET (teaching English in Japan) where the only requirement is a 4-year degree from an accredited university.

I spent a few years out of high school burning myself out on the idea of college because I wanted my education to define me and lead to my dream career. I am turning 30 in a couple months and I see now that it's just a tool, and that any learning, regardless of subject matter is invaluable. I guess it took 10 years to be mentally ready to take this step, and I thank God for this site and the exam-based options we have.

My next challenge is with my 8 to 5 job, trying to figure out when the best time to take the Exams.:ack:

Thanks for your help, I am looking forward to working more with the insanely knowledgeable people here.
