Seeking Feedback on Career Transition: From Firefighter to Remote Work/Digital Nomad
#2
Which country are these degrees from? Are they in English or foreign language?
You should first get the foreign degrees evaluated by a NACES or ACEI approved evaluator with GPA equivalent. Wes, Spantran, Scholaro, there are several options. It is cheaper to have them evaluated at the same time. If you do it separately, it will cost 200 USD while they only charge 100 for every additional evaluation in the same bundle.

This could be useful to accelerate any US degrees because some of these foreign courses can fulfill general education or electives. That lets you only focus on the courses needed for your major.

One suggested way to accelerate an IT degree is to start doing the google certificate courses. The IT Support cert would be a useful option.

Do you speak foreign languages? This could be useful to stand apart given the job competition for IT especially work from home jobs is insanely high.

The most likely university on this forum in your case would be to apply to TESU since you do not qualify for WGU. UMPI is apparently starting a Computer Science degree in a few months in case you wish to wait before applying. What is your age and budget?
