I'm ready, but overwhelmed!
#7
I have been out of the game for a while so I can't help much with the suggestions on classes, but I just wanted to say I agree with jjsafari as far as the first step. If it doesn't matter what degree you have for your district just pick one don't let the information overload slow you down. When I first heard about CLEP many years ago I bought the book to study and tried one practice exam on one cold try I got only 30% correct I thought I am never going to be able to do this and gave up I didn't know that I only needed 50% so I was doing fine for a cold start. I wasted many more years and then tried again, I found this forum and so much information that I was able to figure things out. People were giving and willing to help in so many ways. Eventually I was able to get my degree and it helped me feel better about myself and have more options in life. Life changed and I had to move and I never did do much with my degree, BUT I know I have it and now I am retired and don't need to work, my husband has a good job so life is good, BUT I know life could change again in a flash so I know with the degree much better options are much better should I need to go back to work.

Making a long story shorter (in case you were getting bored) Don't delay any longer just pick a degree and get started even if you are moving a little off course at least you are headed in the right direction. Don't delay because you are overwhelmed just take one step at a time and start moving it will get easier and seem faster once you get the momentum started.
