This is why people don't bother finishing college.
My book was the #2 NJ book this morning on Amazon. The average time a book is in publication is 9 months. Glad to see I not only survived that but am still going somewhat strong.
I've been jonesing for Penn State for months. The one campus is 10 minutes away and they offer psychology. No-brainer, right?
Oh, there's just one catch - in order to continue, or in this case, even begin their bachelors program, I need to have 30 credits from them, effectively knocking me back into associates territory. Meaning the whole last year of my schooling would be tossed out the window. Meaning essentially I'd have to get 2 degrees for the same thing. I know not all of my credits would transfer, that's just how it goes, but christ, having to redo a whole year? I'm already 6 years behind what I should be. Why would I knock myself back even further? Trying to get ahead here, not return to sophomore year a 2nd time.
I already lost credits transferring from Monmouth to OCC, and again from OCC to Phoenix. Usually it was a small amount, but it adds up. I have enough credits to just about be done with my junior year, and officially I haven't even started it. Losing 30 more is just asinine.
So at this point, I'm considering just getting a bachelors through Phoenix. Expensive as hell, but about the same as Penn State would be. Or I'm just going to start doing certification things through the community college, just for the sake of learning. If I'm up for any grants, this will be practically free.
Or, plain and simple, I'm taking a break for a while and focusing on my books. I've been balancing college, writing, and buying/maintaining a house for nearly 2 years and frankly I could use a breather.
