Seeking the Quickest and Easiest School Program

[davewill]

The easiest degree for most people would be a Liberal Studies degree, simply because of the large number of subjects that can be chosen from. If you like math, you can load up on math, if you like history, English, sociology, bio, psych, etc... you can use those kinds of courses.

Other popular choices are Business Administration, Computer Science, and IT/CIS. These are popular because a lot of people who have been in the workforce already have experience and knowledge in these areas, and they are very marketable to perspective employers. If you have aptitude in those areas, they are not necessarily much, if any, harder than Liberal Studies.

Now, both to save money and time, we have found schools that will take a lot of alternative credit. These courses are great because they are cheap, and you can work at your own pace. This works especially well for adults who actually know a lot of things, but don't have college credit. For someone like you, it can still work to save money and time, but you do have to learn the material and either write papers or pass exams. One advantage to alt credit that may appeal to you is that the grades do not transfer to your school, you either pass or fail. So once you've studied enough to get 70%, you can go ahead and move on.

In your case, I'd spend more time reading threads here, and looking at the Community Wiki to see if any of the degree plans there sound like something you would be able to do easily.

If you are just itching to get started, there are a good number of general education courses that you could start taking while you are making up your mind where to go and what to degree to get.
