Cool... That's interesting, I didn't know you were wanting to make a career change. My first choice actually was a BA Biology but because it was not as test-out friendly using alternative means at TESU, I chose to do my third choice - which was a BSBA as a check the box degree. I am currently working on the second choice right now, the BA Comp Sci as it'll open more doors for me in my field which is related to CS/IT for the health care providers in my area.
Which career are shooting for now? I recall you got a Grad Certificate in Counter Terrorism or something along those lines in addition to your first Masters - BTW, what was your first Masters? Is the current Masters you're working on related to your field that you want to get into? I am not looking for a career change, but want to further my education in the Biology field just for kicks. I am not yet looking into a manager position as that's not what I want to do, maybe when I am closer to retirement.
My first master's degree is in security studies, which is a sub-field of international relations. I wanted to get into intelligence, but that's difficult to do without having done it in the military.
Before I applied to the CJ PhD program, I wanted to get a doctorate related to public health, but online options were more limited back then. I also didn't have the prerequisite master's related to public health.
I'm looking to get into environmental and occupational safety, emergency management, or public health. They're all related; my ideal job would be in public health emergency management.
If I could do it all over again, I wouldn't have enrolled in the CJ program. I would have gone back for a second master's in public health first.
