I work fulltime but want to go back to college. What are some good degrees that can open up doors?

Question

I make okay money. But I know that if I got a bachelors I could increase my earning potential. I tried pursuing a nursing degree. But I was unable to dedicate myself to it due to the need for a fulltime job. And I had thought about social work, but earnings for a bsw are low. Any ideas? Math is my weakness. So, accounting is not an option.

Answer 1

I completely understand your predicament. I am currently working a full time job and going to school myself. I just recently started in the fall of 06. Last semester I took a small course load with only 3 classes, this semester I am trying to see how I do with four. In the fall of 07 i am only going to be able to take 2 classes, which is the norm for people with ful time jobs and or other priorities.
I am taking up accounting but I am also doing a minor in business which is almost the same thing so its making my courses a lot easier knowing that when I'm done I will have two degrees.
One more thing is that a lot of schools offer on-line courses so that you can almost work at your own pace. There are still deadlines to finish at but it is much easier than taking the time out to attend the college all the time.
For you deciding on which career is right for you, decide what you like to do and what you would try.Put it in a pros and cons type of situation, or go to the school and talk to a counselor about your options they can usually help direct you in the right direction.
I hope this helps I wish you all the luck in getting a better education.

dude! go for your lvn! (lisenced vocational nurse) my man is going to school for it, and its a short degree, and pays more than alot of the others in the medical nursing field. (pay scale is one step below an rn) the reason he chose that is because he likes to switch around, and gets bored with one job easily. with his lvn, he can recertify and take extra short classes to go into different fields. a tpyical rn program is a 4 year degree, but his lvn is going to take one year, and the lvn to rn class is only a year. he can take classes to join almost any branch of healthcare, and most are only a month or two long. also, they get paid a rather nice salary for only one year of school, and across the nation theyre begging for them. we saw a sign off the freeway here in california offering to pay the down payment and closing costs on a house if you come to work for their hospital. you can also then be a travelling nurse! where you would join a company and they pay all your moving costs and in alot of cases rent and housing, and you work across the country for a month or two at a time.
