Seriously?
So I’ve been talking to some people about school and told them that I have over 100 credits but never got an AA. They questioned how on earth I didn’t get a degree with that many credits and are also asking why do I feel I need to get an AA, why not just go right on to get a BA.
Uh...maybe I don’t know shit about school.
I thought you had to get an AA to get a BA and get a BA to get an MA.
Will someone please fricken tell me what the hell I can get and what I am close to having? WTF?! I’m starting to wonder how many times I’ve screwed myself over by saying I’m not as educated as I maybe am.
(Clearly any guidance counselor I spoke to SUCKS!)
Here’s what I want to do:
I want to go to school. I want to get a damn degree and I want it to be more than a lowly AA. (Yes, it’s better than no degree but it’s not good enough, for me.) I want a BA or higher. Or a BS, truthfully.
Or both.
And how the hell do I get both? Do I have to take a couple more years to get a BA and then four more years to get a BS or what the hell, man, I feel like a total idiot right now.
I want to go to school online. I don’t want to take classes from some for profit POS fake ass school, I want a REAL school but I want to do it online. I work faster than many and slower than some so I want this online.
What are some good, accredited online schools?
I want to get some sort of financial aid whether I can find a way to pay for my entire schooling through grants or apply for a student loan. And again, as I asked before, if I apply for a student loan, does that give me enough money to live off, as well? I seem to remember people talking about student loans when I was younger and it came across that the student loan allowed them to be able to pay bills and such, as well.
I don’t know exactly what I want to specialize in because I have a thousand interests. That’s why I need to find the schools first. Then I check out what they offer and I can make my lists and go from there.
I do know I have zero interest in anything business related. Business classes bore the hell out of me. Not my thing.
I’m more in to science, biology, meteorology, zoology, oceanography, etc.
But I also like art stuff like graphic arts or maybe something with computers. And no, I do not want to go to ITT Tech Institute. I want a real school.
I’m also interested in anything English or writing or literature.
I’m also interested in History although, majoring in history means you can be a teacher...nah. No thanks. Any class I would take that is History related would be an elective or just for fun.
I also want to brush up on my German and learn even more, I want to learn Japanese, I want to learn Russian, I want to learn Mandarin Chinese, (which, I know a few words thanks to my tour guide days...) I want to learn French, as well. But I do not want to major in them, I just want to learn them because...just because.
I could easily spend the rest of my life in school but I know, I have to major in something...so I need to know:
a) what are good, accredited, REAL online schools
b) wtf with my credits...do I have more than I think I have, meaning, am I more educated than I know....which sounds ridiculous asking that since I sound so damn uneducated.
Someone throw me a bone here. I’m fricken lost.
