Advice? Update?

[natshar]

So Im back here thinking about pursuing my degree again. Its been awhile, things seem to have changed a bit. Most people on here are working adults with a stable career. I'm a working adult(late twenties) with a job, that pays "okay." I need a change/career. That being said, I know some here are going to advise going back to a traditional brick and mortar school, Im not sure I have the time or the money for that.

Just looking for an update on which of the Big Three/WGU are worth pursuing a cheap degree through. Ive read TESU has made it more difficult with their cornerstone requirements, going into affect July 1st(but looks like they're already enforcing it).

So at this point, if starting at zero credits, would it be better to go with WGU? Charter Oak? Excelsior? TESU? One of those cheap online community colleges? I have no clue where to start.

Well there is no best answer. I think the first place is to figure out what major you want, or do you just want any degree to check a box. Certain majors aren't available at certain schools. Does your employer offer tuition reimbursement? Also what do you value most? saving money? quickest degree possible? prestige of school? quality of education?
