I know this is a strange place to post this but I have talked with current students, my past professors, family and friends, internet searches into the long hours of the night..... and still am not sure which degree to pursue. My background is associate of science degree in medical field (ultrasound). But I really want a change. This particular job is very strenuous especially after many years of scanning and the fact that Americans are getting bigger and bigger and its my shoulder and arm that absorbs the pain of this.
My main question is.... with this economy which bachelors degree do you think is most valuable from TESC at this time? I have always been interested in business, numbers, paperwork, organizational type work. I had temporarily decided on Accounting but I'm still not 100% sure. AND WITH THE CHANGES at TESC coming up..I need to make a decision soon to enroll.... The change has really put a cramp on me since I thought I had more time to figure it out. I look at the lists of degrees on the website but I'm not sure what kind of jobs you get with those particular degrees.
Any advice or websites you could recommend would be greatly appreciated! The clock is ticking!
Grab What Color is Your Parachute from your local library- excellent. Also, don't let "analysis paralysis" set in. Meaning, you might be over-thinking it. Sometimes, when you think too hard, you over-look the obvious best decision. Is your siggy right? Are you 84/122 of the way through the accounting track? If so, why stop now? Finally, I don't know a lot about it, but Health Care Information Technology is booming- that might be a good bridge between your background and where you'd like to go.
