Need advice in putting together degree plan for my wife (and me)

[allvia]

And for yourself? Have you signed up under your own ID yet? Or are you going to share this one, and still looking for assistance for you own plan?  It would be easier if you had your own ID and a separate posting so things don't get crossed or lost.

I'll probably share this one. We talked a bit about something for me, but the problem comes down to what I might want to do. If I went for something like Computer Science or CIS it would probably be more for the money than a love of programing, as I'm trying to learn Python right now and getting easily stuck in the beginning lessons. (Not to mention how many CS degrees are being pumped out at a huge rate right now.) I have always had an interest in politics, but does something like political science really help me get a better job? What can I find that's somewhere in the area of something I might actually want to do and something that is useful? I asked for a few recommendations, but until I have that answer I'll probably just blast through some general ed courses right along with her.

Quick question, I see that intro to Geography is listed as a CLEP that we can do through Modern States, but I don't see it listed there. Is it gone or is that the Social Sciences and History one?

Based on what you just said about yourself you may want to look into the BSBA-CIS through TESU https://www.tesu.edu/business/bsba/compu...on-systems.  It has the tech components you seem to have some interest in while being a very good general use Business degree (which also applies to many areas of the public sector and political arena) - and the BSBA is hands down one of the most affordable and alt course credits available.  Also, there are many opportunities in the CS/IT/Tech world beyond programming.

Definitely focus on the general eds until you do decide, no matter what degree you end up with they all have the basic requirements.

I don't see a CLEP available currently called Intro to Geography (even on the official CLEP College Board site https://clep.collegeboard.org/exams), it would appear that is (now) Social Sciences and History based on its description.  Others may have more information in regards to that.
