What kind of degree do you want?: IT(interested in Cyber Security, but I'm worried about being able to get a job in CyberSec as its normally mid-senior level positions. I took a year year long Cyber Security course through NJIT/HackerU/ThriveDX that didnt make me employable at all and was a waste of money so, kind of worried about a cybersec degree
Current Regional Accredited Credits:
NJIT 2014/2015 Total Credits: 10 i think? I'm not really sure how credits work fully, I got a C in CS 107 Computing as a Career, 1cr; I got a B in HUM 101 Writing Speaking, Thinking I, 3cr; I got a D in STS 101 Und Tech Soc: Intro STS, 3cr; I got a C+ in IT 101 Intro to Information Technology, 3cr.
I dont know if any of these are transferrable, or if they expire, this was in 2014/2015 when I first tried college
Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits:
0
Any certifications or military experience?
Sec+ 701 and CCSK
Budget: I'd like to go the cheapest route possible, but will consider spending more for easy and fast.
Commitments: I can study while working full time, my job is WFH and pretty relaxed
Dedicated time to study: I can study as much as is needed during the night or weekends as long as my schedule is free. I estimate at least 5 hours every week day/night and on the weekends, maybe 2 hours, total would be roughly 25+4=29 hours or slightly more.
Timeline: Finishing the courses required for the degree as fast as possible would be ideal. I would like to finish in under a year
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: I'm pretty sure I get financial aid, I'm technically homeless
