  So what’s FOBO?
Posted by: LevelUP - 04-14-2025, 08:52 AM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - No Replies

So what’s FOBO?

https://patrickmcginnis.com/blog/meet-fo...your-life/

FOBO

I see this a lot when students are picking their major or college.

About Patrick J. McGinnis

He coined the term FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) and its lesser-known twin, FOBO (Fear of a Better Option), in a 2004 article at Harvard Business School.  FOMO has since been added to the dictionary, and FOBO was the subject of Patrick’s popular TED Talk “How to Make Faster Decisions.

  Uber and ASU
Posted by: raycathode - 04-13-2025, 09:29 PM - Forum: General "Big 3", B&M colleges, and other colleges - Replies (4)

I reached the conditions necessary to get ASU online for free. So I applied. Not sure if I will actually bother with yet another degree but just wanted to test the process and see how credits transfer. The fee is waived for applications through their partners (such as Starbucks and Uber). I applied for the organizational leadership and Project Management major because I wanted to see how much of the major requirements would be met by my ORGL classes from ETAMU. 

What I found so far is all the gen eds are automatically marked complete if you already have a bachelors. I’ll update when they finish evaluating all my credits.

  UMPI Application Question
Posted by: Bubblywater - 04-13-2025, 06:54 PM - Forum: UMPI - University of Maine at Presque Isle Discussion - Replies (4)

Good Afternoon, maybe I missed this but I believe I'm ready to apply. I submitted information to your pace to start the application. But I wanted to start getting my ducks in a row as well.  Obviously I know how to get my High school Transcript, but how do I get Sophia credits ready to trasnfer? I swore I read a article on it but I can't find it. 

Little information about myself, yes just a copy and paste from a post i made a little bit ago.

Good Afternoon, I read a bunch of content and I guess I want validation/verification before I start on my journey in some aspect or another. 

First thing first....

Your Location: North Carolina
Your Age:35
What kind of degree do you want?: Not leaning one way or another, I was looking at liberal arts/studies with a minor in project management
Budget: 35 year old, i've done well in my life. So not stressed about money
Commitments: I travel for work acting as a Project Manager. I do plan review, but have a lot of down time in hotels
Dedicated time to study: I would say 4-5 hours a day, weekends all day. No kids.
Timeline: Honestly no Timeline, but i'm a big pusher just to get things over with. I don't procrastinate till i'm almost done with something lol.
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: I haven't looked in to it. 

I've been pushing Sophia a lot, and per Sophia I have 122 credits. I've been following Plottedpath guide for a degree in Bachelor of Liberal Studies In Management and Project Management.

I can make a spread sheet on the classes I took if anyone wanted to verify infomation. But if not then I just used Plottedpath and highlighted the items green as I did them.

Posted by: SarSar79 - 04-13-2025, 06:20 PM - Forum: Saylor.org, Straighterline, Study.com, Sophia.Org, Coursera Discussion - Replies (13)

I am a bit confused- which quizzes do we HAVE to take for our course grade and be allowed to take the final exam? The quizzes at the end of the lessons OR the chapter quizzes?? Thank you.

  Need Advice On Becoming A Licensed Mental Health Counselor
Posted by: XNutty98 - 04-12-2025, 01:26 PM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (14)

Here's my info:

Your Location: New York (moving to VA or FL in 18 months)
Your Age: 42
What kind of degree do you want?: MA in counseling, psychology, or similar. 
Current Regionally Accredited Credits: 128 (Finishing UMPI CRJ this term. 14 classes in 1 term. Rest of credits come from Sophia)
Any certifications or military experience?: No
Budget: $20,000
Commitments: I own a business and only work about 5 hours a week.
Dedicated time to study: 30+ hours a week
Timeline: 1 Year without clinical work which I believe is 1,000 hours.
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: I'm paying for myself.

So far, I looked at Kairos, but I can't find much information about them and don't know how legit they are. I would REALLY prefer CBE if possible because I really like to get through classes quickly (I have the time). I also looked at LU, but they won't take me because I currently live in NY, and their licensing programs aren't available here. 

My END goal is to become a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, so if there's a better path, I'm all for it. My thought was to get the LPC and do therapy while I go on to ABSN and then a practitioner program.

Thanks!!!

  Cornerstone University BS Strategic Management 100% Mobile
Posted by: Churchd - 04-11-2025, 04:21 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (10)

Has anyone looked into the program? I know that degree info had one post about it. You can transfer in up to 90 credits or 75% of the degree. It's $2400 per 4 month term and is completed on a phone app. I've decided to approach the program and will document my progress if I truly enroll after my transfer credit is evaluated. Unfortunately they do not take transfer credit from study.com. I am unsure about other alternative credit providers.

  Tesu Music Degree
Posted by: rixbae - 04-11-2025, 01:25 PM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (7)

Hi all, I am interested in the Bachelor of Music at Tesu. I have a Bachelors in Sociology and Masters in Social Work. So this would be a second degree, and not career related. It's for my own personal interest so there is no rush on completing anything. Is there a path to completing it with the required Music credits. It looks like some do have to be transferred in. And is there any difference to this being a second degree. Also I still have residency in Pennsylvania so it would be considered in state for any tuition purposes. Thank you.
