Help Me Stay On-Track

[gRoland]

I'm having difficulty staying focused on the goal of finishing my education. I'm looking for input, whether specific to my degree option, or just general feedback.

Degree: Excelsior College's Dual Degree program Bachelor's of Science in Business (concentration: Management Information Systems) and a Master of Business Administration. I've a few credits I've carried into it from the military, but I still have a ways to go. What I have left and what I've completed are listed below ... this is supposed to add up to 147 credits, though the math doesn't seem to quite get there (I think this happens when you meet a requirement with an imported credit, though it might only be one instead of the normal 3 credits, so not sure what happens when I meet all the requirements but total credits don't add up to the 147).

Home Situation: I work full-time for the government in a draining job, and have a wife and toddler. My wife is tolerant of me working toward a degree, but I wouldn't say supportive. I'm also a military reservist. Time is difficult, but so far I've been managing...though I find school largely boring. I took off last trimester, and will only be taking one class through the summer, due to extensive travel.

Other credit options: I am studying for the CompTIA Security+ certification. I also have access to SkillPort, and am considering classes with TEEX and Defense Aquisition University. I'm hoping the ACE-specific classes will at least knock-out some of the credits/electives (and potentially pick-up some certifications, maybe PMP or Six Sigma). However, I still have the time issue.

This seems like it wil take forever. It's difficult to keep myself on track.
