I've always been a late bloomer and I've known that basically my whole life. Things always turn out good, it just takes me longer to get there for some reason.
When I had to temporarily move back in with my parents and temporarily got a fast food job I thought I needed to get a degree asap. But then I got a better job and living situation realized it was worth it to take a bit longer and get a better degree (I was originally going for a basic TESU BALS). Yes I do have 143 credits but they don't all fit together and even many of the ACE credits are the free ones which just count as electives. The only degrees I can realistically pursue at this point to take advantage of my credits and graduate quickly are business or general studies/liberal studies and maybe communications. I thought business would provide more opportunities than liberal studies. My goal at this point is to graduate by Spring 2020 with the best possible bachelors degree I can and I wasn't sure if the State Uni was a better option. I have no plans for grad school anytime soon or even at all at this point.
I also need to convince my parents and other close people in my life that online degrees are "real degrees."
