I was wondering what you guys think of the following options that I have regarding where I go to school. Thanks to a lot of the things that I read here and to some advice provided by some of the members here I decided to go back to college. I was unaware of this but I was still eligible for the GI bill after my time in the service. I did some college back in the days but dropped out.
I decided to go back to school and my original plan was to finish my degree in one of the big three. I went back to my local community college and chugged away at classes towards my degree and to be eligible for a BAH stipend.
At the moment I'm 7 units away from an Excelsior Associate in Electromechanical technologies after they reviewed my transcript from college and the Navy. I'm also almost done with my associate in business administration from the community college that I'm attending. Thomas Edison has so far given me around 60 units and that's going to go up to 72 or so after this semester.
Now I spoke to my counselor who seemed happy to tell me that next year I could transfer to Cal State Fullerton to complete my degree. However in June next year my GI Bill expires. I think I might be able to afford it between my job paying for some and financial aid. Cal State Fullerton is also very close to my house.
Where I need help making a decision is wondering if its worth attending that Cal State Fullerton or just finishing my degree at one of the big three. Cal State Fullerton is not exactly a top tier school but is well known around the area at least better known then Thomas Edison or Excelsior.
I'm also undecided whether I should do a concentration in accounting or management. My goal is to eventually get promoted to a management position at my current job. With accounting I could get it done maybe but I also have the option of looking at a new career.
One of the big deciding factors for me is whether I'll be able to pass Business Calculus which Cal State Fullerton requires while Thomas Edison is fine with college algebra.
Thanks in advance for any input or advice given.
