Newbie with some college credits
#10
Yeah it's a big red building, can't miss it! I took the 8 bus from Ozone Park along 101st Ave.

So I was reading on other threads that I should actually choose what kind of degree I want, then take the tests, THEN pick and enroll in the school. I was looking at the Big 3 and they do say that you have to pay to complete enrollment, but I wanted to know which one was going to accept my credits (as many as possible-- say one school will transfer 33 of my credits and another will do only 29, then I will want to pick the one that takes 33. Although how will I know which school will accept how many credits before I actually enroll? Help?

Also, I have 35 credits right now. I want a Bachelor's, but since there's always so much in my life going on, I wondered if it would be at all smart to get an Associate's to get it done and under my belt, then continue on to the BA. Is there any disadvantage to doing that?

I also don't know which degree I want. (I have a lot of interests and when I was younger I thought, I have time to figure it out...well I'm 42 and still don't know.) I definitely want a Bachelor's and since I'm so bad with math, I'm thinking a BA is right. Now, in what? General Studies? (is that a thing?) Psychology? Sociology? Business? I would love to do women's studies but I don't think any of the Big 3 offer that.

So I have to narrow things down since figuring out a plan is step one.

Any advice?
