Budget: Unsure.
Commitment: Married with no kids. Full-time job but very relaxed and flexible. Dedicated time to study: I can study several hours a day, every day. My job is relaxed and I can do schoolworkduring my job. I have completed many SDC courses during my work time.
Timeline: I would like to finish ASAP.
Tuition Assistance: I have started a FAFSA application but at this time am unsure if I will get any financial assistance.
My main focus is getting a degree as fast as possible. I am trying to move abroad and a bachelor's degree is needed for a work visa. I will be teaching abroad so the education minor is something I am considering but I am a bit confused about what some of the requirements are for that. Will I have to be observed while teaching? I’ve actually taught for 13 years already but am not currently teaching. If I observe lessons of other teachers via videos, then that makes the minor in education much more doable for me.
