Self Improvement and Self Development

Confused about life asked:


I am currently on a campaign for self-improvement. A lot of aspects are involved. One aspect I am working on is improving my academic self. I currently work about 50 hours a week, and I am not sure if I will be able to cut down on hours. Currently, I am employed as a para-professional, with a promise of promotion to professional status once I receive a related bachelor’s degree.

I graduated with a BS in biological sciences and I am wanting to expand upon that in the future.

Currently, I am focusing on finishing engineering. The problem is my work schedule and how it doesn’t fit into the regional engineering school’s marketing plan. I am a non-traditional student. They want overacheivers, and are trying to accomplish this by having those who are driven to succeed “influence” the others. For example, many engineering students live together, separate from the rest of the university. This is now expected and required. Is there any chance I can pursue distance education for BS?
Ideally, the program needs to insure that I can take the engineering licensure exams. I would open to ANY way to accomplish my degree ASAP while taking care of the other obligations in my life.

The main issue is that classes are scheduled all over the place, meaning it is very hard to get what I need. I can provide more details if need be.
I have completed general education and engineering intro courses. It is completing the upper division classes that is the problem.

What I need to find is how I can get state university rates for a distance degree for a bachelor’s of engineering, which I cannot find.
