Community College credits to BS?

[TPierce89]

It sounds like you're trying to get out of LE. What kind of job are you looking to get into? That will inform our recommendations on what kind of degree you should get.

Well, I am interested in atmospheric science, history, archaeology, and engineering. I know that is incredibly broad, but I was hoping to get a BS and leverage that into a job as a researcher / scientist in one of the fields I enjoy. I hope that helps. I went to trade school after high school and I’ve been able to provide for my family well, but I never really made an effort to do something that interests me because I always thought the barrier to entry was too high (4 year degree). I had children young and focused all my time and energy into them, but now I’m at a point in my life where I’d like to find a career for me if that makes sense.

@TPierce89, Welcome to the board, in addition to that extra detail of what future career path you're going for, if you're looking at a quick one-two punch and get the degree as cheap, easy, fast as possible, I suggest getting the Pierpont BOG AAS with an emphasis of your choice, ladder that to the UMPI BAS with a different minor, you can also take the 4 classes that go towards the MAOL just in case you want the Masters later.  You should work on the balanced mix/match trifecta of certs, degree, experience, it seems you've got the certs/experience and missing the degree options...

Thank you for this!  I wasn’t sure if I would qualify for the BOG AAS but I will begin that process tomorrow.
