Intro to World Religions DSST, Anyone??

Librevore Wrote:Hi Snazz,

What you have accomplished already is amazing. I noticed just recently that you are going for the business BA as well as the psych one. I'm curious--I know that having both degrees will be personally satisfying (tremendously!) but will there be a career benefit as well? If you don't mind sharing, what are your eventual career and educational goals? And MagicATC is right. You are a great encourager. Smile

Thanks in advance,
Librevore

Librevore,

Here's why I have decided to try to earn both degrees....

- I realised that I enjoy studying for exams, and I am pretty good at it too.
- I realised that I have already passed most of the Business requirements in the process of getting electives done for my Psych degree.
- I realised that I only need 30 additional credits to get the second degree.
- I realised that 30 credits is only ten more exams, at most.
- I realised that it would be worth going the extra mile to get a Business degree since I am already so close to fulfilling all the requirements.
- I realised that a Psych and a Business degree together would open many more doors than either one alone.
- I realised I would be the first person in my family to get a degree.
- I realised that I might just be smart enough to get two degrees.
- I realised that it won't cost me a fortune to get the second degree.
- I realised that I just really would like to try and do it.
...so I am going to try and do it!

Some people might argue that I should go straight on to a graduate degree instead of doing a second bachelors. But by the time I am finished with my Psych degree, I will only need 7 more exams to fulfill ALL the Business requirements (plus 3 electives). I can do those exams within a month or two, if I apply myself. So, it's just too tempting an opportunity to ignore...and if I don't do it now, while I'm on a roll, I may never do it.

Plus, if ever I get into private practise, or am interested in some kind of management of a facility, it would be beneficial to be able to throw my Business degree into the mix. I have learned SO MUCH about business through taking all these business-related exams, that it would simply be a crying shame not to have anything to show for it.

Don't you think?
