Hello,
I found this site through searching on google about my situation. I was a student at a couple of different well known, albeit mid tier state universities on the west coast between 2001-2005. I was one of those that kept changing majors— engineering, business, criminal justice and liberal arts. During that time I was also in the military— reserves, and was pulled in and out of school for deployments and ended up going to war.
After the service, I was fortunate enough to get a career as financial advisor for a major firm. I’ve been at that same firm for over a decade now, but never did get around to finishing the degree. However, I did manage to complete series 6,7,63 and 65 registrations, life and health licenses, a CLTC designation, and a ChFC designation split between courses at the American college and Kaplan (Purdue online?). All in, I have a bit over 120 college credits from my state university from 2001-2005 with all the 101’s completed and various classes from lots of different majors lol.
At this point in my career I’d like to finish the bachelors so that I can sit for the CFP. I honestly don’t have any preference for what bachelors I receive as it’s just so that I can finally have one and sit for the CFP.
I’ve read here a lot of great advice for people in similar situations and it seems I might be closer than I think to finishing in something, perhaps even finance degree or similar at TESU or otherwise? Any advice on how to proceed from the gurus here is much appreciated!!
Summary:
Finished 120 credits at university, just not enough in one degree to achieve bachelors.
6 years of military including combat deployments
Over 10 years as financial advisor
Completed ChFC:
8 courses through American College and Kaplan on finance
Completed CLTC:
one course on long term care planning
FINRA registrations:
Series 6, 7, 63, 65
Presently have a family and practice to run but able to commit reasonable amount of time after hours to finish.
