Is TESU the best choice for my son?

[MaMichelle]

I'm popping in to say  "Hi", basically because the "With the $100k/year pay bump" got my attention... so, what are we having for dinner, exotic expensive truffles as dessert?   Anyways, he's practically starting out.   If he's into ACE credits such as Study.com, I would recommend completing the AOS with Study.com but start off with RA credits through classes at TEL Learning/NOU or from exams such as TECEP/UEXCELS.   He can work on other general education/free electives with Sophia.org... then finish off the degree with the cornerstone/capstone.   Note: TESU is a good option, but not the only option, he can check other schools...

Haha! I don't think anything short of that kind of money would induce this kid to voluntarily attend school. He smart and a hard worker but academic endeavors are so not his thing! He just wants someone to lay out a series in front of him: take these steps in this order as fast as you can and you'll have a degree at the end of it. I know he can do the study and test part; the FINRA exams aren't easy. It's the navigating the maze of requirements that's hard for him. 

Thanks for your advice. It's all very helpful.

I just want to say, that you are not the only mother navigating for their children on here.  I have 3 children I am navigating for on here.  My kids are busy doing college all the time day/night!  They work super hard trying to get as much done as quickly as possible, and they are multiple ages.  They are all still at home, but I feel privileged to help them.  They do all the major work themselves.  I just help drive a little.

That's pretty much the same as my approach. This kid has come so far, and I'm so proud of what he has accomplished with an insane amount of work and determination. I'm happy to help figure out the path and will be his biggest cheerleader while he's walking it. But HE is walking it.
