Your Location: Lithuania, European Union
Your Age: 35
What kind of degree do you want?: Probably an IT related bachelor’s degree, but open to any subject
Previous education: Finished a 2-year vocational degree in chemistry, which is a level 3 qualification or also called A-levels in the US or BTEC National Diploma in the UK.
After that I finished 1 year in university studying economics. I've contacted the university and they said they would give me some kind of paper with the subjects taken.
Also finished another 2 out of 5 years studying chemistry, that university will also give me a document with the taken subjects.
Work experience: I have 7 years of full-time work experience as a software engineer.
Current Regional Accredited Credits: I'm not sure
Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: I'm not sure
Any certifications or military experience? Not sure about certifications, but military no
Budget: preferably bellow 10k
Commitments: working full time and can work on my studies part time or in the evenings/weekends
Dedicated time to study: 15-20 hours during week, 10-12 hours on weekends
Timeline: I ideally would like the fastest and cheapest path
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: no tuition reimbursement at work
It's been 10 years since my last studies. In the IT field a degree isn't required and most companies don't much care about it, but I still would like to get it to maybe work for some government institution in the future. It is also quite important if you want to get a work permit in many countries. No one in my family has a degree so I would like to break this cycle for possible future generations.
So in my case the degree would be more of a "permit" to unlock future opportunities.
