    I'm investigating getting another degree in CS or a graduate certificate and saw this thread. I haven't been on here in about 11 yrs but I'll briefly mention my experience. I quit a good job at AT&T at 24 yrs old because I had hit a ceiling with my career. I gave myself 1 yr to finish my undergrad and I had 60 credits to go. I went to Georgia State University in person and took a total of about 14 CLEP, Dantes, and ECE exams and finished just in time a year later and was accepted to Georgia Tech's full time MBA program. I transferred all my credits to Thomas Edison and received a BA in Psychology.

    My first year at Georgia Tech I started a business for a business plan competition class that was subsequently invested in by a major silicon valley VC.

    For those wondering if TESC can get you into a good graduate program the answer is absolutely yes assuming you have a good GPA and solid test scores. What you do from there is up to you.

    Welcome back. It doesn't sound like you need another degree, but good luck!

    Welcome back.. Eleven years is a long time. My advice: Get plenty of sleep and try to eat better. You're not eating nearly enough fruit and vegetables. Also, go for a jog a few times a week. That's it for me.:heart:

    I wrote that from my tablet and thought I was responding to the Success Stories sticky. Whoops. I'll copy the message to that thread. If an admin sees this you can kill this thread.

    Thanks for the comments!
