I appreciate all the congrats from everybody! In regards to P00057870's post, I was laid off from my manufacturing job in Feb. Very bummed out about that, but day after day of looking for work on job boards and seeing "4 year degree required" kinda hammered home the fact that a degree would be VERY helpful in today's economy.
Could I have done all those tests, and passed, if I was still working? Maybe, but it sure would have been a lot harder finding the time to study as much, schedule the tests, ect.
The only good thing about getting laid off this time (I've been in manufacturing for 22 years) is that it pushed me to find this board. I didn't know crap about types of degrees, majors, distance learning, cleps, dssts, ace, aleks, or much at all about college till I came here and started learning.
I'm still looking for work. I'll take pretty much whatever I can get and I'll be pushing experience on my resume. But in the not so distant future I'll be able to list a BSBA on there as well. I'm sure of that now.
