Working on a Data Analysis degree and not sure I picked the right school
#1
Sad 
I started a Data Analytics degree at SNHU this year. I'm halfway through my fourth class, but I'm getting very frustrated with this particular class - either nothing is explained for the assignments, and I have to figure out what I'm supposed to do, or it feels far too easy, and I'm not learning anything. I've been wanting to do this degree for a long time because I want to make a career change, and I also get some tuition reimbursement from my job, which makes this possible. I already have one useless degree (BA in Art Studio), I don't want to rush through this and end up with a second one, but I am older, so I don't have a ton of extra time to slowly work through multiple courses and then lose my chance to change careers. 

I took a few courses on Sophia prior to starting this degree, and I really liked being able to power through a course quickly, so I thought SNHU would be good (and the price is great, of course), but now I think maybe I need a little more structure and courses that are a little more challenging? I've looked into WGU, but as much as the unstructured format (and potential savings) appeal to me, I think it might not be the best one to consider. 

I talked to someone at Purdue Global today, and it seems like they have a really good program, but its a lot more expensive, and I don't want to go into debt, so it would probably take a much longer time to finish the degree. I was also going to contact ASU as well. Not sure if there's any other schools I should be considering? Or if I'm overreacting?
