Currently in progress Spanish I and Spanish II when finished add 6 for a total of 37 Sophia Credits



Any certifications or military experience?

Paramedic Civilian (as shown above, 20 years on the job).  No military


My plan is to finish the two Spanish' classes with Sophia, and power thorough UMPI residency requirement of 30 hours.   They have not currently given me a definitive answer on rather my EMT and Paramedic classes will transfer in as electives or not, they are evaluating the course syllabus form those classes/years. 
That being said I am one of those hope for the best plan for the worst people and would like to have a backup plan as far as the electives from Sophia that I am able to power through quickly (Difficulty doesn't matter however the less touchstones the better and math is not my strong suite. I can do math, I am really bad at test taking math)

As far as the 30 at UMPI here is what Im thinking/considering. 

1. Films of the Cold War
   
2. Arab Israelis Conflict
   
3. The Vietnam Wars
   
4. Slavery in the US
   
5. Native American History 
   
6. International Relations and modern conflicts
   
7. History of Infectious Disease
   
8. World Civ I
   
9. World Civ II
   
10. Greece, Rome, and the Early Church
    

Once this is finished I have plotted out 2 options that I am considering, first preferable and second as a backup. 

• Take LSAT
  
• If Pass-
  
• Peruse a J.D. with either St. Mary's Law (First ABA accredited fully online JD), or Syracuse University
  
• Practice Criminal Law
  

If LSAT is fail (3rd attempt) OR not accepted in a Online/Hybrid or a Traditional Law School

• SNHU Masters of Arts History with Concentration of Military History
  
• Proceed to look for and obtain a PhD in history or EdD 
  
• Shoot for Tenure at a university 
  

Also Unrelated yet related question, with these goals in mind, What should I set up as my signature?

Addendum-
Budget, Will be using Fin Aid / Loans
Commitment - I am 99.99% committed and can devote 30 weekly hours at least to study/classwork
Timeline- I would like to get all of this done as fast as possible, but With everything stated, I am in for it for the long haul, and while I think it can all be done in 6 years, I'm willing/able to push to 10
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: I Wish. None.
