You guys have no clue how bad it sucks to go into work day in and day out and feel stuck there because your degree is not there yet. What makes it worse is that I cant find a job anywhere in my field.
I keep sticking to my guns and going but these people are just horrible to these kids.
AHHHH :mad:
Sorry I had to vent.
I cant wait till i finish my degree and can move on.

Oh, man. Been there, done that, nearly throttled one or two of the most toxic coworkers in the process. It took me way too long to escape that situation. Keep putting out feelers for something else. Don't let the bad work environment get in the way of your goals, as much as you can help it. Keep breathing.
It looks like you've investigated some other opportunities - like Americorps. Sometimes doing something that scares you a little can turn into a really good thing. Lest this be a post made entirely of platitudes - dude, I'm sympathetic and really hope you can get out of there, pronto.
What's left for the BA?

Dont know a few great people on here have started showing me what i possibly have missing and i paid TESC there money actually yesterday to eval my credits and stuff so i can move forward and test out of the rest or take courses at Penn foster since they are easier.
As for the other poster Americorp is volunteer I was only considering it for loans reduction but not as a job. Just hope i get done soon.
As for TESC hopefully they will tell me something in 2 or 3 weeks since they already have my transcripts mostly there credit banked. I hope at the most im missing 20-26 credits I can knock out that in a month between clep and Penn Fosters.

Life can look bleak sometimes. But I find I do the most personal growth when I have alot of thing against me. It makes you have to think differently and when we a pressed we can find new answer to what is going on around you.

Are you a Marine? I feel exactly the same way about my job. I feel pretty helpless trying to do the right thing with no help, and what it comes down to is a piece of paper. This is why I'm doing school and taking CLEPS/DSSTs
