Mortuary School to AA Credit Questions

[bjcheung77]

@slaterjack, Hope you'll have a great July 4th long weekend, I'll provide you a few posts and threads to review. These will give you a brief view on how others have completed their degree and where you may find inspiration to "finish". Contemplate, decide what you want after your Pierpont BOG AAS, review this thread, as you want to be as clear, concise, honest, transparent about what your educational goals are and to answer questions in a more detailed manner.

As I mentioned at the beginning of my reply in post #5, I skimmed your previous threads for more details but it didn't really add too much information about you.  Here's one that will hit you (hopefully in a good way as it's close to home and your situation). A "start & finish" for someone who wanted to be a Lawyer in California and recently finished a BLS in 5 months and got paid to do so!

Now for your homework, we need to know more about your "support" system at home.  Is it just your wife? Any other family members that "cheers" you onward with your education?  I understand you may be strapped for cash and want the cheapest, easiest, fastest way towards an associates and ladder up to that bachelors.  Deep inside I can sense you've really are 50/50 at continuing with either Business, IT, or go for that goal of law school.  You need to confirm what your goals are for your educational journey, what are those goals you want to achieve?

Advice from this thread is going to basically be the same for the first 3 years of your education, the final year is where the difference lies, which advice or direction will you follow?  An example of schools mentioned, Excelsior, TESU, UMPI, which direction are you going?  For Excelsior, I mentioned NCCRS for upper level credits to finish off the degree, these are the "major subject area and junior/senior year courses" 30 credits worth, the first 90 credits are all lower level (freshman, sophomore).  Another mentioned ACE (Study.com), it depends what you want to major/study in.

Again, from this thread, our suggestions are the same, do the Pierpont BOG AAS with ACE credits to get you the first 60+, reuse your AAMI (current credits) for 30+, and the final year (if you go my route, I suggest NCCRS using Davar ($129/2 courses), (LawShelf at $35/course) or if you're going ACE Study.com ($199/2 courses), take some major/subject of your choice.  The ball is now in your court, any direction you go, you'll get there soon enough...

Note: I suggest you continue taking the Coursera/Google certifications and IBM ones if you're really interested in Business & IT, as I mention in other posts, focus on 3 things - Certs, Degree, Experience.  You can get the BOG AAS with an IT emphasis, the reason I mentioned NCCRS to finish off your courses is because you can take "intro" courses towards getting your feet wet with subjects that deal with law/legal regulations and rules at LawShelf.
