Thanks for your input. I didn't mention that I already have an associate's degree, though it's effectively useless because it's in General Studies.
I really would like a BA. The job market for professionals these days is not friendly to people without a 4 year degree.

Congratulations on getting your aa though. I know that must have been a long and arduous journey. In my opinion, it's something the typical 22-year-old college graduate will never understand, because it came easily for them.
