HI, I posted this post to the General Thread yesterday. Hoping for some guidance from this knowledge trust to keep me going without wasting time/money - thanks so much.
First of all, this is the best site! I used it to gain courage and to pass the Humanities CLEP. I used it to find out about the IAAP exams, for which I will be eternally grateful.
Now, at long last, I have my transcript from Excelsior's OneTranscript. Like many, I have a sob story: Self taught, accomplished, but no paperwork for various reasons - not even close...now 56 y.o. battling incurable (but hopefully not deadly) disease. My job has become tough with my health. I tried to return to technical work - earned a Geospatial Specialist certificate - I have a long background in CADD and mapping - but it's been a while & I can't get hired.
I am a transportation planner doing alot of administration, marketing and customer service. It's taxing. I am determined to get a degree so that if I need to retire early, at least I have the credentials to try something in the work force other than "Paper or plastic?"
So here are my credits:
