I know that an MBA or masters in human resources would be a bad idea for someone without related experience, but I think getting a second bachelors is a horrible idea, especially if it's going to be in business. She could cheaply test out of another degree at TESC, but she's never been open to testing out. I just think it would be stupid of her to take out more student loans for a second bachelor's, and she turn down all of my ideas for certifications.
I faced a similar situation, and I am going for a second bachelors. Depending on the school you just have to finish the courses for the major, so it's usually about 30 credits. I did look into going for a masters but found I needed most of the coursework anyway that I would need for the second major before applying for a masters. I am now almost done with the second bachelor's and will probably go for a master's after finishing. I feel that I would need the foundation of the undergraduate courses before going for a master's.
