I’m sorry, I wasn’t clear.
I absolutely think get A bachelor’s degree at this time is worth the time and money. I think Rachel was right earlier, get the UMPI degree OR the TESU degree. They are both business degrees from reasonably similar schools.
My point about the money and value of degree: is the “extra” degree from TESU worth $3,000+ dollars? I can think of a lot of things, academic and non-academic, that I would rather do with that money than get a second bachelor’s degree in very similar fields. Also, and again I am not the expert on this, but if you do a TESU degree you would have a bachelor’s degree, I think that would make your studies at UMPI no longer eligible for Pell grant and a lot of other financial aid. As I understand it, second bachelor’s degrees typically are not covered by student aid. So, if it takes you 2 terms at UMPI, that “free” and “extra” degree could end up costing you $6,000 or $7,000!
