Crippling self doubt! (aka starting college at 40!)

[natshar]

I own a tech company, which I've owned since the mid 90s. I've basically been "retired" from it for some time which is what allowed me to pursue the disaster work that I do. I did the TEEX IT courses last week and it was so easy. It took me about 3 hours to do them all and that was because of how long it took to click through everything. I knew all the cyber ethics and law stuff because I'd been in a trademark/copyright infringement lawsuit before and my company has been online since the mid 90's so I'm totally familiar with the 2257 laws. I thought that was pretty funny! I don't know if I'd be interested or if it could hold my attention long enough to graduate or work through it. I really do want to do the educational parts of the degree that pertain to my field because I love what I do and I love learning about it. 

You are never too old to start! To build your confidence introduce you to the world of the alternative credit and see how you like credit by exam. May I suggest the following exams:

Computing and Information Technology DSST
Ethics in Technology DSST
Fundamentals of Cybersecurity DSST
Management Information Sytems DSST
Information Technology CLEP

Take one or two of these or take them all. You might even be able to take a few in one day, especially if you can finish them fast. DSST give you a two-hour time limit, but people with prior knowledge can finish them in a half hour or less. DSST's are similar to CLEP, by the way, maybe even easier because it is 4-choice multiple choices vs 5 for CLEP.

Getting started is the hardest part sometimes. If you did all of these tests, you are looking at 15 credits done with very little effort or cost.
