NA to RA Degree Plan Assistance

[cookderosa]

I would like to earn an associate degree of SOME kind (even general studies).  This is an important step for me personally, regardless of its logic.

The obvious short answer for this is to use your earned People credits toward their own associate's degree in business. I did a very quick look at your credits, and instead of taking more People credits, plug your existing People credits plus your RA and ACE credits into the People associate's spreadsheet. Any open slots should be filled with ACE or CLEP (not People) and you can graduate at that point leaving with a credential (which is your goal) and an exit strategy that you can accomplish before moving on to your next goal.

For your bachelor's degree, there is a lot of good advice already posted, so if you can create a plan that works- all the better! Either way, your NA degree is not worthless. As to what kind of degree you want for your next degree, that's a new question.
