Yeah. I've been busy with getting study.com done, because I thought my credits would expire.
The ASNSM is mostly only because it's pretty quick and cheap for me, since I'll already be at TESU, but I have personal reasons for that too.
I am sure that if I could only have one Bachelor's, it would be the BSBA (CIS and Marketing). Not psychology. However, yes, I don't want to get denied from Capella. To me that is the only possible downside.
I believe the BA Psychology at COSC requirements would take me less than 3 months to complete since I have the 18 GRE credits. (I'm not including the waiting around). To me it seems like a no-brainer in terms of time and difficulty. The only thing I'm doubting about my plan is the money for this BA at COSC... maybe I should skip it, to have more money for Masters. Except if I'll get denied, or have to take the courses anyway to get admitted.
I'm not sure how to explain my unusual plans, except that I have various permanent disabilities, and it cuts off a lot of traditional employment options to me. Therefore, I feel like I have to cobble together multiple PT jobs and spread out my risk over 2-3 fields. And/or have my own business. I know that some jobs and businesses can be done without a degree (or without one in the field), but I also know the limitations well too. There are about 3 fields I actually enjoy and have some strengths and/or experience in, one of which is business.
Edit: Because it's non-trad, I believe I can get away with sometimes having lesser degrees like just the Bachelor's in Psych, or just the "-CIS".
Edit: However, yeah Associates degrees or Undergrad Certs still won't do much. I feel like an Associates + my experience might be enough to get me a second PT job I want, but it's iffy, and I don't think I can "find out" how they would rate me compared to other applicants, besides assuming that nearly everyone with a Bachelor's would be ahead of me.
