I received my BSBA degree last month after finishing up the capstone course in April and I just realized that I have not taken the time to post a proper thread.
I just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who has helped me along the way both directly and indirectly through this amazing forum. I wouldn't have been able to do it without you guys. The day I discovered this forum was the day I realized that getting a college degree actually was possible for somebody like me.
It was a lot of work and a lot of powering through lesson after lesson but I just wanted to say a brief word of encouragement to those on the path. I found out about this forum in March of 2019 and started my first class -- the moral and political philosophy class from Saylor -- just to say I got a few college credits; I didn't really think I was going to actually get a degree. But I completed a few more courses and all of the free courses available at the time and began to think I might actually be able to do it. The folks on the forum were an amazing resource in helping me choose a degree path. I then registered at TESU to pursue the business major.
It wasn't all smooth sailing and I did work very hard -- obsessively at times -- and there were a few classes that I took which unfortunately did not match up with my academic evaluation the way I expected. However, there were also some months where I got very little done because I was working more and I still managed to complete all of the classes in just over 2 years time. So, guys, it is totally possible to get a bachelor's degree in 2 years or less if you go full-time at it. I know things are changing at TESU and transfer credits are going down and fees are rising but I trust that this forum will be of utmost value to those seeking to attain a degree at an affordable cost moving forward.
Thanks for reading and good luck to everybody!
