Jay Cross Excelsior to TECU BSBA Degree Plan help

[Dennis Brown]

I stumbled onto this article by Josh Kaufman and found out about Jay Cross do-it-yourself degree. After reading through his page I was hesitant to make such a purchase on something that i could not find any info on. Fast Forward years later Cross publishes a book that was in my budget. After I read his book I was convinced and ready to start my DIY degree with Excelsior but i didn't know how to plan my degree. After some google searches I found degreeforum:hurray:.

I am like most people on here, 29 year old NYC male at a dead end residential union concierge job. I am just looking to start a career with growth. I know having a degree is a starting point to achieve my career goal. A Property manager or superintendent are all growth opportunities for me with a degree and certifications . I attended CC some time ago and would like to get a BSBA with a minor in management. I was considering Excelsior because of Cross recommendation in his book but after reading through some of the forum I am leaning towards TESU. I understand that TESU is faster and might be cheaper. I want to start this week to test out.

Here is my Excelsior Evaluation
