Degree advice pls
#1
I am looking for advice on what degree I should most consider, that will give me the best value. I am torn and am seeking reasonable and thoughtful advice. I am 51 years old and I am mostly just wanting to finish something I started a long time ago.

I LOVE Psychology, and I have a lot of credits in psych, but everywhere I look I see it being said that it is a terrible degree that unless your going for your masters, has no real world value. 

I am looking at going to either WSU or UMPI and I had a transcript evaluation done on a Bachelor of Science Business Administration, Management degree, and I was gutted when I seen how little my credits would get used. It only covered 12% of my degree if I went that route. Please take a look at what I'm looking at and give me some thoughts on what direction would be best to look at.

I am posting a screenshot of my credits earned.

I am open to consider any degree, any college. I am just looking for the smartest, best advise that will give me value in the degree.

Thank you.

UMPI does offer a psychology bachelor's degree. What would you want to do with a degree in psych is probably something you need to ask yourself. Can you be a psychologist? Probably not. It normally involves advanced degrees and licensing. It would be the stepping stone to those degrees and licensing though.

This is my Delima. I highly doubt I would continue through to a masters degree, so the "job" I could get with the psych degree likely wouldn't offer much value in the work place. This is what I'm seeking advise on. Given the credits I have, what is my fastest route to a degree that will offer some real-world paycheck value. what school/degree should I be looking at?
