Thanks to all who inspired. I used IC for two classes (both undergrad) and passed them both. These two classes and a couple of math requirements that I took online at Excelsier were all I needed to get my BS in Marketing.
IC helped with the following:
Hear's to your Health
Race to Save the planet (environment & humanity)
I hope to get my diploma in a couple of weeks...YAAAHOOOOOO!!!!hilarious

I've thought about continuing on and working towards a Masters or MBA, but I'd rather use the time and complete a book project I've wanted to finish. As a marketing professional, the BS will help to open a number of new doors that have been closed to me for years.
It's interesting to note that, (during job interviews) even without the degree, my experience and skill level was equal, (if not greater) than many of the people I competed against, and yet I wouldn't get the job. Now, the sky is the limit (and beyond.) Itâs exciting â and I want to thank the many people that contribute to this site and IC in general.
Yes, I do think a Masters is important in many cases. My brother has an MBA, and has been earning a high six-figure salary for years. Frankly, I'm just not a great student and the fact that it took be almost 20 years to complete my degree is a testament to my distaste for the academic setting. I think the education system is broken in a number of areas â and the No Child Left Behind program is damaging those children who think outside the normal box of educational norms. Hopefully the new president will fix that problem.
In the end â acquiring my Bachelors was my goal. Now that Iâve achieved this, Iâm ready for my next series of challenges.
Good Luck to all!!!!
