I decided tonight, (after thinking on it for a while and researching it), that I am going to do Administrative Assistant correspondence courses that will earn me at least a diploma in it. That will be cheaper then getting my Administrative Assistant diploma at Kirkwood (by half). And most businesses recognize this form of learning, so I can get a better job easier. (if I don't already have one by the time I finish). If I do, then it will help me move up higher then if I didn't have it. Also, I will be able to more readily afford to go to Kirkwood for my associates or higher!
I WANT to go back to school and learn stuff. So I am motivated, now I want to get started! And, I won't stop after I finish the correspondence course. I DO PLAN on going to Kirkwood for my associates at the very minimum.
Here are the answers that I gave to someone that rapid-fired questions at me, if you want further details:
Through where?
Stratford Career Institute, there are no complaints about them in the Better Business Bureau. I've called around town to see if businesses and banks acknowledge this sort of thing, and they do.
How much?
Half of the cost of a semester at the local community college.
How much time will it take?
Work at your own pace, however I will put in at least 5-7 hours a week, hopefully much more.
Can you do that and work a full time job?
Yes, it's a work at your own pace thing.. No time limits and no places to be at certain times.
Can you move in the middle of it?
Yes. I just have to update my address for records.
Is there tutoring help?
Yes.
I have one person dear to me that is supportive and one that is not. What do you think, dear reader?

You know I support you 100%!! Love ya hun! Whoever doesn't support you truly doesn't deserve to have your friendship.
*hugs*
love ya!
Thanks hun.. I think that the people that don't support this idea, just don't get it fully. But, I will succeed! With a friend like you and a wonderful man like Jeff, things will be peachy-keen and will all work out!
You can never go wrong by trying to improve yourself and your education. Sounds like a great program that won't interfere too much with your everyday life and will lead to a much better career. Go for it.
just because a person is skeptical about an online degree doesn't mean they don't support you, maybe they want the best for you and they know you can do better.
