What if you do something totally unrelated to your current degree like psych? I know that you can test out of psych and if you do a search, you're likely to find a couple of degree plans. If you can't find one, just email me, I made one up for DH when he was considering doing the BA in Psych at TESC.
I have briefly considered doing a psych degree for a second degree (and it was what I had originally signed up for at COSC until I switched to biz admin)... I'll probably do it if I'm not totally burned out once I finish my masters, or I might if I don't get accepted to the masters program I want. I think that it seems like a decent second degree to have. Since I'm in sales and sales management, I always thought that I could potentially use a psych major to show that I understand people, which would be good for both the customer service and management aspects of my job.
Anyhow.. just a thought. I think it really boils down to what interests you more. Or, you could picture yourself in an interview for your dream job and think about how you would talk about your education. Which degree gives you more to talk about in the interview? Is there one of the test-out degrees that would give you even a slight advantage over your competition for a job?
