So it's finally my turn to make this long-awaited post...
I finished all of my degree requirements on Jan. 31 for the BSBA in Accounting and International Business at TESC! It seemed like the end would never arrive, but I was able to finish the entire degree in 3 years exactly, going from 0 to 150 credit hours (to be CPA eligible) through CLEP, DSST, ALEKS, FEMA and TESC courses in my 2 concentrations.
I have posted a few times, but I've mainly just used this forum to glean from all of your knowledge and experience, and just as importantly, to keep myself motivated by reading these "finished" posts from others! Thank you all for taking the time to share your experiences, and good luck to those who are just starting this journey! It is definitely worth it...
To keep myself busy now, I am studying for the CPA, Certified Fraud Examiner exam, and the GMAT in my spare time. I took one week off entirely, and I was incredibly bored, so I think that I have become somewhat addicted to this...

What a wonderful achievement. Please let us know how or if the undergraduate exams helped you with your future exams. Not just the knowledge learned, but the act of taking exams themselves.
