Path Recommendation for 50 y.o. male in US
#28
(12-28-2023, 02:02 PM)ill13 Wrote: Hey y'all!,

I'm a long time lurker [look at my join date!].

Looking for an undergrad degree as fast as possible as any promotions or moves will likely require at least a BA. I'm a pretty decent writer and relatively quick learner, so I'd prefer to test out of everything as fast as I can. I don't care what the degree is, just need something quickly to tick that box.

Currently I am an IT Manager and am the classic 'Jack of all Trades', with no specialty.

I have a good handle on software automation, software development, GUI design and implementation, Windows System Administration, break fix, planning and implementation, technical documentation, networking, cybersecurity, micro electronics, 3d design / CAD, marketing, product design, digital design...

I'm strong with Python, PowerShell and decent with C, BASH, JavaScript. However, I'm weak in general math - StackOverflow and Google cover me for most of the time!

World religions, western history and politics, global economics, and general biology are areas of interest.

I prefer to work on my own; classroom environments do not work very well for me.

Location: Connecticut, US
Age: 50
Degree desired: Anything
Current Regional Accredited credits: 0
Current ACE / CLEP credits: 0
Any certifications or military experience: Army
Budget: Preferably $5-$10k, speed is more important than cost
Commitments: FTE and 2 kids
Timeline: ASAP


Looking for recommendations /paths to get this remedied ASAP.

Any help is appreciated and thank you for reading!
Are you sure you have no ACE recommended credits? What did you do in the Army? Did you attend any Army schools? Please order your o4e4 your Joint Services Transcript.
 
You may even have credits just for having completed Basic Training. See
