Im in UMPI

[LevelUP]

I dropped out. I was too embarrassed to say anything about it. I started to feel strongly that a "Liberal Studies" degree combined with a lot of tech experience, might actually look bad. A hiring manager would say, "With all your years as a programmer, why didn't you get a more technical degree?". It would look like I got the easiest degree possible, which would basically be true.

Having any degree is better than nothing.  A Business Administration with CIS concentration is a good basic degree, and a Computer Science degree is the gold standard.

The WGU Software Development degree also requires few certs.

I hate certs because I have a fear of failing, and study until I know the answer to every possible question. It takes me forever to do one cert.

The Software Development degree only requires two certs, and you can transfer those in. Those are easy certs which should take less than 2 weeks to do each. The key is finding a good source of sample questions that will help you pass the certs.  

The WGU ITM degree isn't technical, but it might look like a logical career progression in to management. I have zero interest in managing people, but I would learn some business things. Simple Programmer said it was the fastest degree

The business administration degree can be used for finance, marketing accounting, and IT jobs. At some point, you may want to save for retirement, become a millionaire to break out of the matrix, and live life financially free. Then a business education would be valuable to have.

The business administration degree will be faster than Software Development/Computer Science by 3-6 months.

I had not looked at TESU recently, I thought you had to take the classes on a fixed schedule

TESU has a fixed schedule for when assignments are due, but you can work ahead as much as you want. making it flexible. Most classes are under 40 hours total of work.

TESU has the Business Admin with CIS concentration, and you can pick up the Associates in Computer Science with no extra courses required and no extra cost once you have the Business Admin CIS degree requirements done.

Also, you can get a double degree at TESU.

I dropped out.

None of that will matter once you have a bachelor's degree. Considering you already have job experience, you are way ahead of the game.
