[QUOTE="offroadkarter, post: 16408449, member: 79484"] I'm currently taking online classes to finish my BS in Enterprise Security, I got an AS in 2013 for Network Engineering and at the time had a good paying job (for my age) and was over school, just wanted to work. I'm at the point now where I am hitting some walls with trying to advance my career as the company I work for, while an AS is TECHNICALLY the minimum requirement, every job listing and every hiring manager is really looking for a Bachelors degree. I almost didn't get an interview for my current job due to my degree but I was given a chance and an offer two days later. My employer has education benefits so my online college is 100% paid for. I'm 75% through my degree and am slated to graduate March of 2021. I hate being back in school but I know I have to get it done if I'm going to get past this proverbial brick wall I feel like I'm stuck at. If you want to go back to college you need to go for a useful degree that you can use to benefit yourself in a new career, going back to get a useless Psych degree just to say "I have a degree" is absolutely, [i]absolutely[/i] a pointless waste of money. I have a friend who got an art design degree from the art institute of Philadelphia like 13 years ago and he currently works at the TSA. He'd be the first to say that degree was a total waste of his time and money. [/QUOTE]
