I just completed my degree with Charter Oak State College. I will obtaining my BS in General Studies with a Concentration in Psychology this December 31st. I want to thank everyone on this forum for helping me. I've obtained many free certificates, learned about FEMA courses, and tested out of a total of 30 classes thus far!
I've been a lurker for several years and read more than I post here, but I definitely wanted to take time out of my day to thank each and every one of you. Without your tips and advice, I would have never finished my degree.
What's next? Masters programs, perhaps some travel abroad, and I hope to add more to the discussion here!
Thanks again everyone. I'd been working on a degree for 6 years and was about to give up before I made the attempt to enroll at Charter Oak and get my first bachelors degree.

Thank you, Jennifer! That means so much to me! What's even better about everything is I had to switch majors to graduate for COSC, but some of my CLEPS and courses actually ended up satisfying requirements for the degree I was working on for 6 years. I'll be able to get another bachelors degree in English in one semester if I choose to go back. It's amazing what DegreeForum has taught me and done for me! I will definitely keep everyone posted and look forward to reading everyone else's success stories!

WOOO HOOO!!! Another fellow COSC alum on the board. Great job!!
I highly recommend the travel abroad part of your post-degree plans. My experience living/working out of US are what really helped my career once I had the degree to back up the experience. There are plenty of programs out there for teaching. Now that you have a degree, you can teach English in almost any country you'd like.. just take a year off and do it!
