Are you taking courses more for personal development than career development?
#8
I did edx courses about aerospace and engineering, and other online courses and video sets (MIT has great ones) for fun. I decided to earn some nice papers....so I can go back to learning about what interests me. Might help me move into management too, and pad my resume. But im looking forward to finishing so I can go back to learning random stuff that I enjoy. Might do a BA history after the bsba...for myself. I listen to aerospace lectures and speeches and whatnot while Im working pretty often, since I dont like studying that way.

Listened to a few hours of The Atlantic Space Summit today, great stuff!


Oh, so to answer the original question:Im trying to earn degrees so that I can move into management in aerospace someday, as a lot of those positions ask for a bachelors degree. I dont need it per-se...only need it to move to management. And once I get the degrees, I will go back to taking non credit courses in aerospace and engineering topics, for fun. Also plan to start taking some maths to work up to advanced maths....nothing to do with my career, just for myself.

But I dont need a degree to do what I do for any of the space companies.
We are all on the same side here, trying to better our lives....so let's get along and help each other out. 

Learn a trade. Gain technical skills. Make money, then use this money to get a degree...if you have the desire.
