Hello, I am a new member looking for general guidance. I graduated High School in 2007 and went to a local community college in 2007-2008 before leaving to pursue work. I have been in Law Enforcement for 13 years and the longer I work, the more I regret not pursuing a degree. While perusing the job opportunities outside LE, many require a BS degree to be considered. I would like to obtain a basic BS degree that would fulfill this need so I can explore opportunities that are more relevant to my interests. Aside from my career in LE, I also was a senior Android Developer for a software company in Chicago for 5 years. I know this doesn't translate into credits, but I may be able to easily pass some of the lower-level IT courses if I need to jumpstart my credits. Here is the template with my current information:
