Hi all!
I don't know where to begin, so please forgive me if I jump around a lot or don't make much sense.
I am 33 years old. I did not graduate HS, I received my GED in Canada when I was 19. I moved to the US when I was 18.
I've worked in marketing and management since I was 16 for internet companies. When I was 26 I had a bit of a midlife crisis and changed my life-path. Given my limited education I chose to take an EMT course. Years later I received my NREMT Paramedic, which is what I've been doing for 5 years now. This has inspired me to become a PA (Physician Assistant).
My goal right now is to get a BS utilizing life experience, past credit, tests outs (SL/Study.com/Shmoop) to get my 4 year degree done so I can focus on my Pre-PA studies, and then get into Yale PA Online.
Currently I am working on applying to UNM for their EMS degree however they need 24 credits to transfer, then will award 47 for my NREMT-P license. They are currently evaluating my Shmoop ACE transcript to determine if any qualify.
This made me question if this is the best degree and school to pursue a degree with, and if I may have other options that will get me through my undergrad quicker.
