I have a phone appointment today with a career advisor at my local community college.
I’m a little nervous about it. I have been going to this same college for like 15 years, well on and off at least for that duration of time.
I have this delusion that the college is sick of me going there. But I know in my logical mind they don’t keep tabs on people like that.
Anyways I am probably going to ask the career advisor if I should either do an online accounting degree at the community college, or just transfer to a four year school and get my bachelors degree over with.
Thank you for reading. Take care.

Good luck and I’m sure they care about your money more than you going to them for so long

LoL I was thinking the exact same thing as I was typing my post up. I use the GI Bill, so my tuition is kind of guaranteed to them.

I went to a junior college for a long time too after I was diagnosed. I’m working full time after getting my AS at a much earlier age. If u can go to a 4 year school and get that bachelor’s degree. I think.that’"" help u out much more n the long run. That’s just my opinion though. Stress seems to b s primary factor for us. I know when I was at the JC I felt so comfortable there I didn’t want to leave. Go for it if u can. I’ve found in my life I have been much more capable than I thought I was. Good luck!

Hi @JeffSimpson11 thank you for your kind response and encouragement.
I already have a couple AAS degrees. I got them both while I was in the Air Force. One of them is in human resource management and the other is in criminal justice administration.
The reason I haven’t applied either degree is because neither of those career fields interests me anymore. Plus I obtained them a long time ago & my interests have immensely changed since then.
Thank you again, take care.
I tell u what Chris. If u want to apply the experience of having sz I would suggest what I’m doing. U have probably heard of it but it’s call a peer support specialist. I’’ working with people with serious mental illness or SMI. I do a lot of transporting them to doctor appointments and moving them but I get to know them and help them with their recovery as much as possible. I work with the 60 + age population and it’s challenging but rewarding. Again uigjtbwant to check it out. Peer support specialist is what the position is called. Good luck buddy!
