It doesn't hurt to start taking 1-2 courses. You never know what will happen. For one thing, you might make a friend in one of your classes who knows about a job that would be perfect for you. It's also just nice to feel like you are making progress, even if you aren't going to get that degree next year. I was able to test out of about a year's worth of courses at my university, so that's another option to help speed things along.

I also have a hard time figuring out what will be a good fit. Forward motion is better than no motion for me...
