Okay, thus far I have two bachelors, one in philosophy and one in religious studies from a prestigious liberal arts college. As you can imagine, I don't have a job - I wonder why? : )
Anyway, now that bills are coming in and credit card inquires are being declined, I need to get serious and find a job.
I am interested in physics and mathematics. Why? Well, I did an internship where I learned the material and loved it. I have *NO* formal education in either discipline, though, I have read Calculus by Spivak and understood it all.
I was wondering, if I only go for a math BA/BS, if I could do it online? Would employers care? Do they care if you did half your degree at a community college to save some money? What about the latter question if I combined a physics degree?
Does it really matter where I go? I am sure I could get in anywhere, my graduating GPA was 3.96 and my GREs were quite good. If the new adcomm won't take that into consideration, I may have a problem: I dropped out of high school when I was young, obtained a GED, took the SATs (scored in the 1500s awhile back) and went to a community college, then transferred.
I am not sure the field of math I'd like to pursue (or even physics [if you can't tell, I am leaning towards just math]), and like I said, I have no formal review in either.
I did some coursework online in my other two degrees and enjoyed it, so I thought I'd enjoy taking a degree online, if possible. If not, then, I'll go the traditional route, but where to begin...
That's the question. I'll await the answers. :)
Keep thinking
