I am currently one of those whose income is about $25,000/yr, and I am supporting a family of four on that (and managed to start saving $100/mo a few months ago). My wife is who really makes that kind of thing possible, as she grows a lot of our veggies and herbs, cooks most things from scratch, and loves every minute of it. Now that's said, I don't want her working (and neither does she), as her value at home is quite a bit higher than the minimum wage she could garner. However, I need to increase my income, and although MMM has some options for those without college, I would prefer just to get an education and start making better money on that.
My GI Bill (I am a Veteran) will pay for most any school, but I do have a bit of a time crunch if I would like to see my kids every once in a while. Also, as I would prefer to be able to get college knocked out as quickly as possible (so I can start really saving for retirement), I am considering going to Western Governor's University and getting an IT Security degree (I have A+ and Net+ and a passion for Cisco products from my former job in the Air Force). This would accelerate my ability to get a high(er) paying job and allow for more management-type opportunities as I can say I graduated from college.
Does anyone have any experience with this University? They seem legitimate, but the way they structure classes and tuition is like nothing I have ever seen before. Just wondering if anyone knows anything about them, or could point me to some pitfalls that I should be looking out for. Thank you so much for all of your help!
