Hello, everyone.
Hoping to get some suggestions on possible routes to take in my journey to complete my Bachelor’s degree. I have some concerns that at some point my company may rewrite my job description to require a Bachelor’s degree and I want to get ahead of this as it’s really weighing heavily on me right now. It’s not the best time with 1 kid in college and another one starting in a few years but here we are. I have had a few people I know point me towards options like WGU but I have also ran across TAMUC by way of these forums. My end goal is to get a degree as easily/quickly as possible and would love to be able to carry over my credits. My major concern is that anywhere I look is going to disregard my previous college work as it’s been 20+ years. (I really hope I am wrong) Thank you in advance for the time and help!
