Advice for a 13-Year-Old Working Toward a Finance Degree
#14
rowan555 Wrote:Good points have been raised here. I suggested Straighterline because you seemed to be planning to get your degree with TESU. If you aren't certain of that path versus attending a more traditional college/university, the ACE credits could indeed cause issues. For my kids, they knew the path they wanted to take, so it was a no-brainer.
I'm completely OK with this, just know, as you did, what the ins and outs are and this is fine. I would also be warmer to it if he/she was 17 or 18 and well under way. At 13 and because they don't know they need to fully explore other options.

Heck, my kids even did free FEMA that never got used as college credit.
MBA, Western Governors University February 2014
BS Charter Oak State College November 2011
AS in EMS August 2010

I'm always happy to complete the free application waiver for those applying to WGU (I get a free gift from WGU for this).  Just PM me your first/last name and a valid email so I can complete their form.
