What I'm wondering is if it's pointless to do labs online in getting this degree or if this is mainly a concern for those looking to do lab work or other types of clinical work with this degree. Also, I have 80ish credits, some of which might not really count anyways. Is it true I can transfer up to a max of 85 credits from a community college? I'm trying to avoid a b&m classroom setting, as I work full time, 2nd shift as a specimen processor and can't really do much constructive things during the week if it involves leaving home. I also would like to avoid retaking any classes or be forced to take exams for classes I already took.
I would like a job where I feel like I'm making somewhat of a difference (and not selling my soul to the devil ha ha), yet I can live comfortably. I don't need a lot of things, as I'm a pretty practical, resourceful person but I'm not okay working a $12/hour job that demands employees have a bachelor's. My second choice of bachelor's I may get from tesu instead is the psychology degree, which is far easier to get away with doing online (and is much easier to test out of from what I understand).
I can't help you with the job stuff, but regarding the transfer- if your credits were earned at a community college, they'll all transfer assuming there is a slot for them to land in.
I did all my science labs online, which went fine, but they are expensive.
