Why does it seem to me that EC is all about the money?

I guess the reason for a LA degree is that I have put together a bunch of credits (both classes and exams) in two different domains of study. Creating a transcript with both areas of focus listed would document my academic achievement in both areas. The only other way to do that would be to do two majors or a major and a minor, something only possible at a traditional school, if it's even possible there.

To move forward into the grad school and master's program that I am interested in--if I get that far--it doesn't matter if I have a major, concentration, or area of focus in any particular discipline. This is a local B&M grad school with reasonable tuition for which I can use financial aid. I have two friends who did their master's degrees there and loved it, and who are reaping the financial rewards they had hoped for.

So this bachelor's degree is a means to an end, hopefully within a few months so I have the chance to take a short break before starting grad school next summer (again, if it works out).

So that's my plan of attack.
