I'm just looking to make some, any, progress toward a degree I can feel myself moving forward. Since I can't get any aid from FAFSA due to tax issues, I'm on my own paying for my education. With seven kids and a drastically reduced income practically overnight, it's baby steps for me.
You're doing it right. The most important part is notching credits under your "belt".
CLEPS Passed: 10 DSST Passed: 11 TECEPS: 1

Don't waste time by trying to save time. The only sure way to complete your degree is to knock out credits quickly and efficiently.
Don't let easiness bite you in the rear. Know your endgame (where you want to be) and plan backward from there. Your education is a means to an end.
Be honest professionally, socially and academically. There are people (especially little ones) who look up to you and they're going by your example.
Be proud. Whether you're an Engineer or Fast Food worker, there is honor and dignity in hard work.
Picking on people weaker than you only proves that you are a weak person.
