However, because the Pierpont degree is FREE (except for the cost of credits earned elsewhere), there is little downside to getting it "just in case". Pierpont is not a for-profit school. It's a little technical college that almost nobody will have ever heard about. The only reason it's known about here is due to their inexpensive BOG AAS degrees. Otherwise, nobody will really care one way or another.I agree, but I have no degree so far so having any degree would he helpful. I also have work experience as a paraprofessional, not sure if that can help (portfolio or licensure evaluation?)
If you really want to boost your resume, you should definitely get a Bachelor's degree. A degree from either UMPI or TESU can be relatively quick and easy in comparison to most other options. The biggest question mark would be what kind of budget you have - both time and money budget.
As for budget -
no particular rush, time wise. Would need something flexible due to work/kids.
