Bobsleigh - Degree Planning Advice - Help Please

[CenterSquarEd]

I didn't get into Pierpoint due to no confirmation from them about credit residency before classes started whereas I meanwhile was due to start at New River. That was okay as I likely would have needed the Microsoft Applications class which I had at New River, and I was granted the Paraeducator  specialization on their transcripts. As a out of state student, I think it will cost me $252 over what the Pell Grant paid on the the 3 credit course and that was with a instructor that was quite lenient.

At almost any route I've looked at 4-year university will be after  30 upper level credits, which I don't have most of those.  So therefore the 3-year Canadian degree(s) will perhaps be qualified for en route to the 4 year degree but might as well pay a few hundred dollars for that rather than going without a BS/BA at all or as it works out in the time span even if I have to pay course by course.

The Associates degrees with the one course AAS  at WV New River and the probable reverse transfer  AA from Itawamba, Mississippi is just a blessing from my expectations. (I looked up their degree requirements and saw that I probably only need Microsoft Applications coursework to qualify there but I was in a General Studies program there at Itawamba but took a lot of Child Development Tech  courses there and that adviser stuck me that major, but I lacked several classes when depleted of funding there at that time for the Associates level funding.

So, I have a problem with funding, took classes that I could pass back then, the GPA went up, was in Phi Theta Kappa there, went to Taft Law School later, withdrew before Finals, went to Walden, didn't complete enough competency TEMPO Learning coursework to get FinAid at the 4 year level which is also new completed as things stand now. I could pass the Walden courses  but I lived with a irrational elderly person that insisted I don't get online so I fumbled that year and whatever VVRAP funding I could have received at a community colleges coursework or training. I guess it can be said I gave part of my life to others and  was rewarded with two Associates degrees at the exact juncture of finding the BOG AAS information on your information, sirs and madam's.

I have not read up the former postings, but I think they probably had to do with just getting more Associates degrees such as paralegal, etc, if inexpensive.

But I have been pondering an UMPI to COSC coursework transfer to earn the 4-year Bachelor's.

Why is it important to play the field for several degrees at the same levels? Because no one wanted me in middle school or high school. My dad's brother went to West Point Military Academy and a faction of the family didn't want to claim me, basically. The schools didn't want me because of politics of country schools with such relatives as mentioned or basically that I wasn't acceptable for family feud reasons and other reasons that I didn't know about then except I was isolated I'm school as an outsider. I later had head trauma and it's hard to recall a years worth of learning unless living and repeating it enough which I didn't at Taft and they test on a year of coursework at Finals rather than a semester or two. They wasn't giving me enough options to test out but I'm in good standing there still.

Pierpoint did not have any education emphasis or specialization. New River had the Paraeducator emphasis which will be on the transcript.

It's not that I wanted an education degree, but due to shooting in the dark it was the target that was hit, therefore being the target for now.

I would further add, that in fact I am more open minded at the Graduate level and really don't see a future in education in my case, except the story behind it makes it sensible. It is because I could pass the classes in my circumstances and that being homeless and dodging the time to leave places with wifi and taking quizzes before being ordered to leave and so forth.

See, I rather had gone more the polymath route, in several areas that I might have experienced more but my beginning  impaired me beyond my expectations. I originally was a English and Creative Writing major but,  when going to Itawamba, it was too late to enroll in  anything but General Studies. I now see that writing is work in college, not like poetry which is an art. If I was going to work excessively then there is a lot of territory to narrow down. I mean, I'm an American and America is versus Americans and when we are gone there won't be an American that recalls America. If writing was important, then to pass on the past to the future is the duty of the present. But, I asked an old man what he would tell the young if he could and he said, "they wouldn't listen". So in the end, here we are in the present spending time for credentials but it's trying to shine light as much as possible in achievement, not for vanity, but that we stroke those fires within and can't live a life alive or stop living without light of learning.

P.S. 

I did complete segments of coursework at Walden's TEMPO learning program for BS in Early Childhood Studies that if added would be 5 credits altogether, but needed a bit more completed to have FinAid pay them again. Walden billed me over $3000 that I have to satisfy with bill collection agency to return to Walden, if I do.  I have learned from the field of human development to know a lot of people's lifelong self-blocking arises from birth onward, such as covering an infant's eyes for long periods leads to near sightedness. And that there's stages of physical and mental development that I am more aware of, and can use such learning in social settings with different levels of humanity. 

But still in all, I tire from social settings and people person jobs are not going to be viable for me because I don't like talking or speaking for hours. I rather read or do computer oriented task.

 I saw from recent articles that a 3 month certificate in cyber-security can lead to a job worth over $100,000 but I would have to definitely read up on that type of coursework as I understand I have lost my abilities for things I might have once surmounted.

I mean I am liking what I can get, most homeless people just got into a sort of figurative tar pits in their circumstances like dinosaurs did and draw more onward, but a few don't and I just don't have an impulse for drugs or alcohol and that stuff that gets them. I'm kind of thinking it is about if they were programmed to not give up like me or born that way or not, but when they didn't get out of drugs, the drugs/problems became their programming.

I wouldn’t recommend cybersecurity if you don’t already have a passion for computing. I think you’ve gotten better advice earlier in this thread.
