A little rusty at this.. some help?
#6
Wow! SO nice to be back and thanks for all the great comments. Here are a few responses:

- I do really like the associates degree idea and feel like it's better than nothing. However, the only thing that motivates him (kind of) academically is the desire to spend a few years out of the country teaching English. He has read that most countries that pay well have the requirement of "any bachelors" to get the position.

- I also agree that in theory, it's not good to plan his life...but he's been wanting me to do that for two years now and I"m seeing that he really doesn't care and truly appreciates the assistance. He did have a job for several years and is quite a hard worker. But as Jen mentions, even at $9 dollars/hour, it made him a worse student as he was less motivated to focus on school when "he didn't need to listen to me" to get money. Now that he doesn't have a job, it's just easier from him to concentrate.


For classes, he has some basic liberal arts from community college along with a small handful of DSST. I don't remember how many, but maximum 3 DSST - need to confirm ASAP. All of his stuff adds up to about 18 credits from all sources.

I have been scouring the COSC and TESC sites and believe that Human Resources from COSC might be a good choice? He would have a fair amount of online classes, but it's hopefully a degree that would be more useful to a kid that might not get a masters.

In order to save money, I'm looking at SL and some of the other resources that weren't around just a few years ago when I was CLEPping. This could take a while and I want to keep the cost down. I also plan on studying with him.. not easy since I travel quite a bit for work, but I can do it and it will be fun.

Thoughts on the possible degree choice? I literally know nothing about HR, but he's very good with people and it could be an interesting career choice. I'm very open to other suggestions.
