A greeting, and request for help!

This is awesome! Thank you, all of you! I'm going to look over this stuff, and I'm going to have 10000 questions, I'm sure. If anyone can come up with any other configurations, that's awesome, too.

I suppose, ultimately, something with an HR slant might be suitable. At this point, for me, a degree will be beneficial regardless of major. Eventually, I intend to go the master's route on an HR degree, but I'm worrying about one step at a time.

Sanantone -- as a side note, I already work in HR (and have for quite a few years). I am currently working for a Fortune 500 oil and gas in HR. Consequently, another reason why I'm wanting to continue and finish all of this is because I want to move up the ladder a little further. I appreciate your help, too, and I've looked over quite a few of your degree plans on the wikia. Insofar as all of the things you've said about getting into the HR field -- yes, it's hard to even get into the field. Beyond that, without an HR degree, it's even tougher. Fortunately, though, for me, I'm already on the inside -- I just need some serious help to get higher up. I'm totally game for a business degree as well (and a lot of my work sides on the computer side of HR, too, so that's cool, too). Really, I want something effective but that both works best with what I already have AND is faster. I don't want to have recomplete or redirect a whole lot. Although, I may change my mind when I look through all of this.

As far as degrees and getting to the top -- where I'm at, the magic is all in the HR master's.

Honestly (and I know this sounds terrible, probably) -- I want something that is quick as possible, cheap as I can get it, and consumes as little time as possible. Yes, I want it easy. I know things aren't always that, and I'm okay with that. We don't always get what we want. Hehe. I just have a lot going on, but I understand, and recognize the absolute value that completing my degree will have. It'll also put a little jump in my step that I finally completed it. It's been a long time coming, and it's something that I want to do for myself, my career, my family (and especially my parents).

Also, as a side note, any idea what a PHR certification might net me insofar as credits somewhere in the mix?

..and, KayV / Sanantone / everyone else -- how much extra stuff would I need to do that BSBA but with the HR concentration, rather than the general management?

I'm also gathering that TESC is probably the best route for me given the fact that I have that handful of classes with D grades that would be a pity to waste? Or would COSC still be reasonably viable? I don't really have a preference either way, school-wise.

Thanks again!
