This is kind of a silly goal, but I really want to work in the same workplace as my mom. Her job is a healthcare marketing job, and while they don't need the most prestigious college, they do somewhat care about the college. (I know they wouldn't accept a college with a 100% acceptance rat I already have some marketing experience with my current job (I send out email blasts, follow up on leads, write scripts for our Insta/Tiktok). I am currently 24 and took the most random classes at community college until I graduated with an associates in Medical Assisting by just forcing myself to pick one and stick with it. It wasn't until recently I realize that most schools will not do the competency route, and I will have to be in school longer. I just asked in case I missed something.
My budget is 25,000, and I am eligible for FAFSA. I am able to take about 6 months off work to focus heavily on my classes. I have 108 Credit Hours, plus the ability to take some Sophia courses beforehand. I am very aware that I have been poorly planning things so far to achieve this.

I'm actually really sorry if it seemed like I didn't view WGU or UMPI as a valid school, I don't think that myself at all. I didn't mean to offend anyone.

Get a degree for your future, not centered around a company JOB and their current requirements. That job might be here today and gone tomorrow. The company might change management, get acquired, close and million other things can happen. I will tell you a secret, in 5 years no one will care where you went to college for a bachelors degree. Having any bachelors degree in any subject from any accredited college is better than no degree and worry about getting a degree from a "better viewed" college. Work experience matters more, develop your skills. Get a Ivy masters degree in strategic communications, if you really want to get into professional marketing beyond sending email blasts, which will be more important than your bachelors degree.
