Re: Further Education - Where to begin?

I start up again this Monday. Definatly take your time and sit down with someone from your top school choice. Maybe your top two, just to get a good view. I ended up sitting with two Deans upon getting back into school after 7 years out and they seemed to be more interested in the transition that also involved current career path instead of just getting me into a program.

FAFSA stuff is pretty easy to take care of, and every school will have lots of people to help out.

Some people like online classes, some don't. I like them for the basics and they have worked out perfectly for me thus far, but now I am getting into some more Finance (my Major) classes that I am going to prefer some more hands on class room time with.

DeVry has worked well since they have two actual campus locations (France & 494 and 169 & 394) and they have almost every offered online and in the quick 8 week sessions. Again, you need to make yoruself get everything out of class this way, otherwise it is a waste.

If you want to look at some Finance stuff let me know, I'll bring over some books and you can take a look at my course list.
