Just Starting Out

[sweetcrabhoney]

The Big Three consists of Thomas Edison State College, Charter Oak State College, and Excelsior State College. Though these schools are fantastic and decently priced don't limit yourself to just them, do a bit of research. It sounds to me that you really are not sure of what you want to do for a career. You state health care management, are you currently in health care? You can get into management in healthcare with a business degree too, so why specifically healthcare? If you are uncertain of your direction start out with CLEP and DSST exams that would fulfill your general study requirements at most schools. If you desire to go to the "Big 3" then start racking up ACE or NCCRS approved courses through programs such as ALEKS or Saylor. Take your time and realize this is an investment that takes dedication, focus, time, and finances. This is NOT an easy path, and will require a lot of effort. So until you figure out what you want focus on general studies. If you will never figure out what you want go for something broad such as business because it can open up several doors. Either way Good Luck.

Thank you tons for your advice and opinion. I will look up Excelsior later today.

So I intend to be a doctor of Chiropractor as well as get a masters in traditional Chinese medicine which will allow me to get a licence to be an acupuncturist in California. Then after I open my business I can get a doctorate in traditional Chinese medicine.

While I don't know which college to get my bachelor's from I do know the two medical school I'll be attending once completed. They both require a certain number of health classes before they will allow me to be admitted into their school. Those courses are the same ones included in a healthcare management degree... so it all blends together into one. A business degree wouldn't fill those requirements.

I'm a writer by profession at this time and simply trying to work on a new career because I'd rather also have a much more respected career .

I do understand that this will take some time. Medical school will take 12 years combined! But I do want to start and finish my bachelor's as soon as possible.

With two young children and a business ; I don't expect easy at all. What I want is simply a way to advance my education in my mommy world while I wait for FASFA to clear.

I hope this clears up things for you.

Thanks again.
