It is finally over!
I didnt want to post until it was official but I finally got my Business Degree from Excelsior College.
It was a a long journey that would have been impossible without the help of the great guys from this forum.
It is amazing, I combined SL, PF, Aleks, Community College and a few EC classes to get my degree. I have a total debt of $2700 on a student loan I took to pay for the EC classes and that is going to pay for most of my masters that I started in 2010. The total cost of my degree was probably 8-9k, could have been less but I didn't take a single CLEP or DSST as I am a horrible test taker.
The cherry on the pie is that I just got a new job as academic advisor in the adult division of a local college, very respectable institution that has been around for over 200 years. I am sure going to use all what I learned here for the benefit of my students!
Thank you all
God Bless this forum and everybody here!!
