need advise with online BA in psychology
#4
I guess transferring my BA credits over to equivalent degree from a U.S university sound interesting I remember there is a service like WES doing that services.
My wife has her equivalents to U.S degrees done by WES, but she is an EU citizen and studied in one of the top EU universities.
Here is the thing, its nearly impossible to get a job as teaching couples with "choir teacher + IT teacher" in China, basically international schools in China do not teach IT, and my first degree is BA in management information systems (MIS).
I also have a certificate from Cisco and Microsoft too
- CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Associate)
- MCSA: Microsoft Certified Solutions Associate Windows Server 2016
I tried multiple times to get a job around here with absolutely no luck, and everybody sees my passport change his mind it's not so easy to hire Egyptian with a degree from Egypt, a U.S degree maybe! But Egyptian degree is a NO-NO.
The only time I managed to get a company nearby to hire me, things changed big time once they figured out that I am not first world citizen they thought I am sough African or British. Also, I am a non-native speaker. A little accent is a BIG DEAL for international schools here. That's how things are going here in China.
Are my BA from an accredited institution, this is a tricky question to answer, to be completely honest I am not sure.
The Egyptian government accredits my degree, does that works for U.S university? No idea. I guess I have to send a copy of all my documents to be evaluated by WES to be able to answer this question accurately.
I need to earn a degree in English from a native speaking university. Even a degree in the English language from Egypt won't cut it.
Do I seek employment within a Chinese school, not mainly, I mainly need to be able to have a work in the same school where my wife gets her contract, in which most of the time is at international schools in China, or somewhere nearby so we both can provide income.
In my point of view, having a psychology degree, then a master in psychology is much more flexible to have a job around here in China. IT jobs has proven to be quite challenging to get me anywhere here, especially in teaching its nearly do not exist for schools.
Everyone here is a computer geek!
Also, they prefer a local IT admin guy to deal with all the equipment, software and people around in Chinese . "routers, switches and even windows here are in Chinese also cisco routers here is rare they have Huawei, a national company. imagine my fibre optic link goes down, and I need to contact the telecommunications company to get it fixed ."
Regarding starting from scratch in psychology, well, honestly, no I did not have any previews coursework at the subject, except for high school. But I have an extensive background in both psychology and philosophy as I am a book worm and a certified nerdSmile one of the only few things I enjoy in life anyway.
I studied both IT and Fine art /interior design.
Sorry for the wall of text Smile
