Guidance in Degree Planning Needed for A new resident in USA

[rkotak2]

@rkotak2, I looked at your evaluation pictures, the two pictures are just a portion of the evaluation itself.  Can you send us the entire evaluation?  Generally it will provide more details than what is currently showing.  Especially, when you have so many courses available, it should indicate a few more things and may be an extra page or two, you may have missed a page or two... just crop out your personal details as you did the other info.

Anyways as I was about to say... You're going to get various response to your inquiry on which way to go, it's like 360 degrees of variable answers, by updating the info in the template, you have provided us more details.  You're basically at a cross road between getting a Bachelors or going straight to the Masters, you really want to look at your variables and see what suits you most.  Everyone will have valid advice for you, but you decide what to do with it.

Get this, you're 15 years younger than me, you currently have a factory job (can you tell us more about the factory job? is it automotive, farming, what type of job, warehouse?).  What field or position are you looking to get into, management, teaching?  By telling us, I don't want a factory job anymore, well, what if you're the team lead or the lead hand and looking to move into management, that's different than say a janitor job at the factory.

You have the energy, money, time right now to "get that education", my suggestion always has been 3 things. Certs, Degree, Experience.  I would use this time to get your US equivalent education completed by following your initial plan.  UMPI Bachelors then WGU Masters, but you need to decide which major/minors interest you most.  You can get to where you want to be sooner or later, it's now punch time to get "this" started.

I am not going to disclose too much until I get additional info and questions asked/answered in my next post, but again, everyone will give you a different answer, you need to decide which way you want to swing things.  There are many people here looking at their second Bachelors (some even after they have a Masters), there is no harm in getting an addition one in something different, you do that to keep "learning continuously".

Edit to add: We're all here to root you on, we want you to get that education on the cheap, easy, fast route to the finish line.  Having said that, I like to look out for any extra ROI/Value, by doing the Bachelors, you're well within your means of cost, energy, and time you want to finish this by.  Don't rush... I'll be linking you to a few posts later, depending on your evaluation picture updates.

Hello, Thank you for taking your valuable time to go through my evaluation and for understanding what am going through. I have attached the full evaluation as requested. I think the major in Accounting interests me the most and I'm tending toward that. (The UMPI Bachelors in Accounting then WGU MBA + CPA and other certs like PMP) is my most probable route at the moment for me. I am currently working as a packer in a warehouse but they are too physical and I'm looking for any corporate job at this rate. So any guidance that i can use to quicken the process of getting will be greatly appreciated. Kind regards
