Why would you want to get it at your own pace? You’ll most likely won’t finish.
My work schedule consists of 12 hr shifts in a row. Most of the week I only have time to get home, eat, any other basic necessity and then sleep to get up early to get ready.

My work schedule would consist of Monday thru Wednesday and the next week Monday thru Thursday. Vice versa.

Is it possible to get a math degree online on my free days which is near the end of the week and weekend? The days I work are 12 hour shifts.

I would like to be math tutor on my days off for extra bread.

you don’t need a degree to be a math tutor.

And if you

a. Don’t love math
b. Already have a high degree of skill

you’re wasting your time.

I’m in my 40’s. Ain’t no company checking for 20 year old transcripts:mjpls:


All I’m saying is. By the time you hit your late 30’s, the work history should trump your education.

young people with degrees can’t find decent paying gigs. It’s a racket. I did the online degree shyt for a year before I came to my senses.

for one, you should know what you want to do career wise when you’re still in high school. What profession you want to be in. Most kids go to college and don’t know what they want to do. Or they pick a degree that’s not of significant value in the real world.


If you’re trying to go the school by the time you’re 30, if it’s not for a specific designation like CPA, or some type of medical cert, you’re wasting time and money. It’s just that simple. You should have been able to find a company that allowed you to grow from within.


A lot of people go to work, just to work. Instead of thinking long term, they think check to check, season to season.
I'd definitely agree with the bolded. As long as you know what field your going into it can be useful.

My job actually allows me to grow. I work for the State. I wouldn't be an analyst now if they didn't. I worked in a completely different department but my job gives you opportunities to work in other departments almost as an intern in order to add onto your resume and build. Doing that is how I became an analyst.

They also allow you to take classes during work hours that they pay for.

If I had a degree it would've been easier to get this position but I also would've been in loan debt.

most hiring managers see degrees as a form of commitment. You committed yourself.


But if you work for a company for 5 years, got promoted multiple times, had multiple skills that you can articulate, it’s the same thing as having a degree.


In my case, I joined the military after high school, so I always play the patriot card :manny:

My pops did the same thing.

Didn't go to college, but was in the military and was able to get a good career because of it.

But I'm just reading the OP now, and hell no he don't need no damn degree to be a part time math tutor :mjlol:

You’ll never finish at your own pace. If you’re serious you’ll figure it out and graduate as early as possible.

This new job has great benefits and a pension that’s matched. I’m not in a rush to leave it but I don’t want to be stuck here for too many years. I want to eventually make more bread.

I disagree with the bolded. You have no idea what jobs are out there until you’re actually in the world real. Do you really think a high school knows anything about working as a product manager, project manager? Etc? There’s a lot of job roles you don’t know shyt about to you get out there, gain work experience, and look for opportunities.

Also, your interest change. You may have completely different interest as a 35 year old man rather as opposed to the younger version of yourself.
