Hello Everyone!
I'm seeking concrete advice on what my plan should be in order to execute and achieve on obtaining my bachelors degree. (BA Comm)
Back Story:
I'm 34 years old and have been working full time in sales for the past 14 years and now moved up as a sales manager at large reputable company however I now feel that this is now hitting a ceiling since all I have is a highschool diploma and some college. Long story short, I dropped out of community college at 20 years old to become a telemarketer > sales rep > sales associate > account exec > now sales manager. I feel that if I want to move up to an exec/c level position I would need to have college degree. There was no pressure from my employer to get a degree, I just want to cover my bases and prepare for a brighter future.
Research:
I looked at WGU, TESC, Maryland Global Campus and UMPI however after my discovery, I feel that I'm undecided on which college to choose from. I want to earn a BA in Communications since I feel confident to call myself a good speaker/story teller. Preferably, I would like to find the cheapest option. Which is the least expensive that doesn't require a heavy workload? My daily job already consists a lot of tasks and duties along with stress making sure my team meet their quotas. My college transcripts are minor and not much.
Truth:
I have always been a major snoozer in academia and have a hard time concentrating but now is the time to change and make it happen. Family always advocated that education is everything however I always believed that its all about the delivery of the message and first impressions that matter.
