Looking to get a head start

SS20TS Hey I just wanted to ask as I saw on a previous post of yours you did the BLS triple minor. How did that work out for you career wise? Did it help you get interviews or any conversation for jobs regarding the minors? Only asking because I was reading a lot about minors and it seems the majority of people online state a minor isn't worth it most times. I am still going for my BAS triple minor but just wanted to reach out to someone with the experience. Thanks in advance!

Also wanted to saw is the BAS triple minor worth more to employers than the BABA PM/MIS? I went through the requirements and noticed that what I have transferred in vs my plan I am only 3-4 classes from the BABA PM/MIS.

Thanks!

In my opinion, if you already have years of management, leadership, or project management experience, pursuing a BAS with a triple minor should suffice. However, if you lack that extensive background, opting for a BABA might be more beneficial. Personally, I’m going for the BLS with a triple minor simply to check off the degree requirement. With 24 years of management experience, much of it leading multi-million-dollar operations, I just need a degree to get past the AI filters and recruiters. The lack of a bachelor's degree has held me back from Director and VP-level positions, where a degree is a hard requirement. I have transferred enough credits where I could get the BABA PM with just 10 courses but I am not sure the extra headache of BUS 325 is worth it when I can get my BLS with triple minor in Management, Project management, and MIS with just 7 required courses and 3 random relatively easy courses. 

Problem I ran into was few people knew what a BLS was so they wanted to discuss it instead of the job. Leaving that off and just listing my BABA ended those convos which was more productive. There's always someone somewhere that asks about my education. Might be because I live in an area with a bunch of colleges within an hour including an Ivy League. usually starts off with oh I see you xyz degree how come you didn't go to abc university since it's near you. Ummm....cause I'm not 18 and rich? It was just awkward.

I see where you're coming from. I work in Facilities Management and I am also in the Silicon Valley so unless it is a tech degree they don't care too much around here. I acknowledge that a Bachelor of Arts Business Administration - Project Management would look better on my resume but Bachelors of Liberal Studies - Project Management should do the same thing for my career.
