Why are you earning credit this way?

I had given up on a degree years ago because the school I went to out of high school in 1985 was a quarter school. So when I tried to transfer after I got married I was pretty much sunk. Instead of being able to just add more credits where I had deficits, they just said I had to start over. Or maybe I misunderstood, dunno.

FF to recently when I was researching stuff for my daughter to get her degree online. I thought, why not me? I have goals I would like to achieve now that my days of raising my kids are approaching an end. And though I am still a caregiver for my elderly mother in law, I think of some career options that may be part of "phase II" of my life. It seems like even chief cook and bottle washer requires a degree. I figured I should accomplish it asap. I'm thoroughly enjoying the process.
