Cost of TESU vs. Excelsior

Good point. It'd take a break for 6-12 months and let them take random Coursera certificates and the like. Maybe they'll find out they have a burning passion for Marketing, in which case a BALS degree isn't going to be very useful. Maybe one of them will want a History degree from UMPI. Or accounting.

A BALS can be useful for an adult with an established career. It's not a great look for a lot of young teens.

Obviously UMPI is not an option for several years (you must be 20yo to apply), but the rest I agree with 100%.  There's no reason to get a BALS/BLS this young, as it's not going to do a lot for a career for someone just starting out.

I always recommend the "right" degree over "ANY" degree if there's a "right" degree to be had.
