Help me get a University Education.

Hey man, feel your pain. For what its worth :

I currently work in an International Bank full time. I also go to school half time at night (3 nights a week). It sucks alot sometimes with the schedule but the benefits are well worth it. IMO online education is waste of money unless you just want a diploma, but even then, many companies will not view it as highly as a regular school.

Just my 2 cents but you should look into schools offering classes at night. Anything is possible man, and like many of the succesful guys on here will tell you, there is no substitute for sacrifice and hard work.

(PS. When I finish my degree in Poli Sci I am going to Law School - currently a legal assistant)

 

uuuh ... how's a history diploma gonna help you in getting a job in a bank?

 

They probably require a degree for the position that he is looking for. They don't necessarily care if it is in History, Economics, Astro-physics, or Underwater Artesian Basket-weaving.

Hell on a day to day basis I use very little of what I learned in school...and I have two degrees! It does make Jeopard a little easier though.

 

suck it up and just go to night school, itll look better in the long run.

Feel pretty strong about that?

 

Then you want the degree with out the work?


You can SAY you know stuff all you want. The degree is the PROOF you know it.

 

Isn't the University of Arizone one of the VERY few accredited universities offering degree programs?

If I were doing one, I'd probably do that one. Or I'd just buy some diploma from a diploma mill and make myself a doctor of bioengineering or something equally pompous sounding

 

ahhhhhhhhh, my bad lol..computer froze up and i pressed the button like 5 times lol...

 

You mean the online University of Phoenix ?

I checked into it, it was cheaper to go to my local state University right down the street from me.
If memory serves me, U of P was cheap the first two years, but very expensive the second two years, or vice-verse.

 

U-P also got kicked out of NC twice for lack of acredication (sp?).

 

Not a good one at all as Stephen DID go to the college physics classes when he was in college and the 3rd - 6th form (British High School). And has the degrees to show it.

That is what you want, right? The degree to SHOW that you know this stuff.

 

I know lots of people (myself included) that knew much of the material for their undergrad or grad degrees but sat in classes anyway to "get the paper".

Suck it up and hit night school. Took me (way longer than I like to admit) years of working 8:00 to 6:XX then headed to school two to three nights a week until (sometimes) 11:30 pm to do it. That was while changing jobs twice, renovating a house and first born arrived. You'll find the time, trust me. If you really know the material that well, preparing for exams should be a snap. If you wind up just 'buying a diploma", you may regret it one day.

Good luck.

 

Why not try something like this:

Call a couple of the schools you would like to get a masters from and ask their opinion of a U of P bachelors. Those are the only opinions that matter.

 

Barely.

You will likely end up not wanting to be in the university that would accept it.

No.

You are not going to like it, but I'm going to say to suck it up and just go through a regular university program at a decent school. Take 20 credits a semester, go straight through and graduate in 2.5 years if you want. You're a young guy, it's not that big of a sacrifice in the long run.
