The last time I was in school it was to get a Graphic Design Specialist Certificate from a now defunct college.
My self-esteem (especially in a professional setting) has always been affected by my lack of a degree. It's always been my dream to have a bachelor degree and I'd like to start that now during my 40s. I've been trying to get my feet wet and trying to understand all of the requirements, acronyms, and 2021 changes. As a full time working, single parent, who's also home schooling a child due to shelter-in-place, I'd like to choose a degree that I'm already familiar with. For starters, I'm leaning towards psychology more so because of my experience plus the fact that I've ready a lot of self-help books. But I do think that BSBA would be more beneficial for me in this point of my career as an Executive Assistant.
I've laid out my map for both. From what I gather, I need to start with taking the UL classes. Which is the least intimidating out of the classes? I'm afraid that I'll try and then mistakenly choose an incredibly tough class and get intimidated to continue. Also, it seems like Sophia and Study.com are the best places to start. Because I'm a single parent with a minor who I can't leave alone and we're currently in SIP, I can't afford to take a CLEP test outside of my home (at least not now). But I'm sure that'll change towards the end of the year. Without minimizing the hard work that everyone has put in obtaining their degrees as I appreciate and envy everyone that's put in the effort and hard work for their degrees, I'll appreciate any input and please feel free to tell me which path is the least expensive and easiest. Thank you so much
