Help Me Stay On-Track

I did juggle two degree at two different times on my journey, all while working full-time, commuting 2+ hours a day and with kids at home so I can certainly relate. I juggled a BSLS and BSHS at Excelsior BSHS and my MHA, one at Excelsior and one at Bellevue, so two different schools and two different sets of work level. Then I juggled the last several months of my MHA with a post-bac certificate program. Again, two different schools and levels. I had to put myself on a very strict schedule, kept to it and kept my eye on the prize. I had to feel like I was seeing lots of progress or I would have lost steam. But, it sounds like you are not able to set a strict schedule and for that reason I feel you may see more progress, faster if you either stop the MBA all together or focus on just the BS degree for now. I think you are too scattered and not taking enough classes each and every term to see the progress you need for motivation. I know that you may feel like it will take you longer if you don't work on both at one time, but completely finishing one degree will give you that boost you need. I know how hard it is, but you just have to find a way to structure your time so no one feels cheated, you or your family. Good Luck!
