<p>i have been taking a couple courses at the local juco on and off for a few years. have no idea what i want to major in. I was working on the general requirements for a four year degree because I refuse to blow thousands on the same classes at a 4 year school. Just keep on ho humming along, about 19 credits short of my associates. Work full time, which I would gladly do over school full time. I still want my bachelors though, for several reasons. I realize the major will be in a relatively worthless field(looks like global studies will be the one with a minor in ops management), but it's still a degree, and if I ever choose to go to grad school I'll have that, and more people don't have degrees then have degrees, so degree is a good thing. </p>

<p>It just seems like it's been forever for me making the transition and getting serious about this. Mainly because I don't want to do it, but understand that it's a good plus to have, so I half ass it, take a couple classes or so a semester. I also don't have the interest to take a full load. I have a solid job that pays good enough anyways, so like I said, why bother with all the classes.</p>

<p>On the other hand though, i just want to load up and get it done because it's been years now. </p>

<p>anyone else in this spot? i know im not the only one. it sucks because i don't really give a damn about it, but at the same time know I need it, so like i just said, i go at it about 50 percent.</p>

<p>I would imagine that there’s nothing wrong with taking a couple of credits a year, except that you’ll be spending a lot longer on it than you would if you just buckled down and went through them all in two years or so. But in the end, you’ll still get a degree either way.</p>

<p>It’s tough for you, but I really appauld you. You keep plugging along, plus working fulltime. If you didn’t have a job, I’d say go fulltime and get it over with. But having a job, even if it’s not your “career job” is terrific and even enviable. </p>

<p>One thing to consider is to make a plan. How much longer at the JC? Then what? Remember, most colleges won’t transfer more than 60 credits, so don’t take more than that. In fact, to be on the safe side, consider where you’d ideally like to go, and look at their requirements, especially for your intended major. Then, talk to someone there about your courses to be sure they transfer.</p>
