Now I realize why so many of you went for 2nd Bachelors! (TESC Enrollment Fee)

[CollegeStudent7]

CollegeStudent, IIRC, both your money and your time are limited. Given that, get one degree or the other, do not try to get both. I assume by the "BA in Mathematics", you actually mean the BA in Natural Sciences and Mathematics, but if you do mean the BA in Mathematics, please drop the idea because that degree will take you too long.

My recommendation: just get the BA in Natural Sciences and Mathematics and be done with it. Don't incur additional expenses and stress.

Thanks for your straightforwardness Y. I can always count on you to give it to me "real". As you see from what I posted above, my 2nd degree would be something that I can do at my own leisure. The quicker I complete my first BA, the more time I have left to complete my 2nd. I need my 1st BA simply as something to slap on my resume. It will help me earn more, quicker, and actually pay off :-D.

So my idea was to complete all the needed credits for something like Liberal Studies or Psychology (as I heard you can test out of all of those) and when I'm 1-2 courses away (probably within 2-3 weeks of being complete) I'll pay my enrollment fee, graduation fees, all fees...etc ..etc. so that I can graduate. From that point I'll have almost an entire year to complete a 2nd Bachelors.

That's where I'm coming from. I hope that makes sense. I figure that another 24 credits will cost me, at most, 4k total with fees and everything and I'm totally ok with that.

Another spin to this..I actually qualify for Financial Aid for the year of 2011. I realize I have to take 6 credits to get some of it, so I'm going to do the math on everything, extra money I could be making, time factor and see how things weigh out. If the classes last 12 weeks, that wouldn't be too bad, but I would have to start them within the next month. Gotta look at TESC's schedule.
