Hi.
After getting my nail tech license done recently I'm ready to work on my degree. I'm going to go for Thomas Edison's Humanities Bachelor's degree with the intent of getting a TESL certificate after completely the degree. The goal is to have the bachelor's in 5 years. By then all my kids will be old enough and we can move wherever without issue. I'm not in any kind of rush.
I can only spend up to $8,000 on my degree. Based on what I've read on the forum and the Wiki it's possible. I'm hoping it will work -- only time will tell.
So I have not enrolled in Thomas Edison yet -- I'd rather finish a few courses first and then enroll. I don't think they will give me credit for beauty school anyway or even for being a notary public and I don't have any college credits that I know of either.
So here's my plan :

I'm sure it's not as detailed or pretty as others but I'm really not sure if I've got it "right" or not. I actually followed a similar guideline to the Wiki for the same degree/school. I haven't even done the cost total for the plan yet -- crossing my fingers it ends up being on budget. The only thing missing from my plan is the language classes and that's mostly because we haven't decided which country to aim for yet. Top choices are China, Japan , Thailand , Spain , and Brazil.
I'm thinking of starting with Shmoop after seeing the results from the lit courses. But I'm wondering if it'd be better if I started with the CLEP tests instead.
I'm not working currently so money is tight ... But I still want to do something to advance my education while I wait for this baby to pop out and I can work again.
Any advice would be highly appreciated ...Please and thank you.
