Hello Wonderful People,
Thank you all for your continued great advice. You guys and gals are the greatest. Once again, I'm in need of all you distance learning Sages, Oracles and Yodas.
I intend to immediately pursue a Masters degree upon completion of the above mentioned degree. I'm in the education field and I'd like my grad degrees to benefit my career. What do you guys suggest? Programs? Schools? Should I stay at TESC? Is there a better option? Cheaper, easier, etc.
Talk to me people.
Thanks in advance. I look forward to the advice.

Allow me to do some math here. You took 18 courses through SL at 39 bucks a pop, plus 99 bucks a month, considering you took an average of two months for all your courses individually, that's 239 per course, times 18 courses puts you around 4,000 bucks. For 60 credits, FEMA was free at 31 credits, and 210 bucks for art appreciation. So roughly, you are less than 5000 bucks into a Bachelors with roughly 26 credits to go. How much is it going to cost you to do the final 26 credits?

I think what 29palms is trying to say is you spent about $4000 to pursue a degree at TESC. Most of these credits aren't going to transfer anywhere but the big 3 anyway. If you transfer to another school, you'll be pretty much starting at freshman level. You might as well finish and save the time and $.

Don't waste time by trying to save time. The only sure way to complete your degree is to knock out credits quickly and efficiently.
Don't let easiness bite you in the rear. Know your endgame (where you want to be) and plan backward from there. Your education is a means to an end.
Be honest professionally, socially and academically. There are people (especially little ones) who look up to you and they're going by your example.
Be proud. Whether you're an Engineer or Fast Food worker, there is honor and dignity in hard work.
Picking on people weaker than you only proves that you are a weak person.

I think the OP might have been thinking about staying at TESC for a masters. I don't think the pricing for TESC's masters programs is competitive. There are much better schools at the same price range.
Are you looking to go into administration at the elementary or secondary level or are looking to get into something like instructional design?

You're right, I read the message all wrong.

If you're in the Federal Govt and plan to stay there, it really doesn't matter where you get your Master's at as long as its accredited. If not, I would leverage the low cost Bachelor's you're getting and try to get into a more traditional Master's Program if you have the funds.

I intend to continue my educational career abroad, so being licensed in the States isn't a concern for me. Since this is so, a prestigious grad school isn't really needed especially since I intend to complete two Masters degrees then a doctorate. Right now, I'm looking for the best bang for my buck with relative ease as far as the program goes.
Thanks a bunch for the input. Keep it coming. You guys and gals are certified rockstars!!!! :hurray::coolgleam::hurray:
