Is ASU a good option for a midlife career change?

I've been job hunting for a while now, and I've always wished I pursued an academic path instead. My business took off immediately, but it's no longer a viable option. I'm considering getting a degree, but I'm worried about the cost. I'm married and I'm not sure if the possibility of scholarships is worth getting my hopes up for?

Unless you know what you want, I think a junior college is a great starting point. They're cheaper and there are some good ones in the valley. ASU is a good option once you know what you want, like business, engineering, or medicine.

I'm exploring different career paths, and I'm drawn to fields like literature, history, and sociology. However, given my background, a business degree might be a more practical choice. I'll need some time to weigh my options and decide what's best for me.

If you're interested in teaching, you might want to look into the Arizona Teacher's Academy, which covers the cost of your degree in exchange for a commitment to teach in Arizona public schools for a certain number of years.

Before committing to a teaching career, you might want to consider substitute teaching. Arizona's teaching environment can be challenging, and it's essential to be aware of the state's teaching conditions.

Considering community colleges can be a cost-effective option. Many of them now offer 3-year bachelor's degrees, which can save you a significant amount of money compared to traditional 4-year institutions.

I work at ASU, and I think it's a great place to get a degree. However, community colleges can be a great starting point. The classes are often cheaper, and you can get your core requirements out of the way before deciding what you want to pursue.

If you're an ASU employee, you might be eligible for the employee tuition waiver, which can also be used for your spouse or dependents. This can be a great way to save money on your education.

A colleague of mine recently made the switch from a well-paying office job to working at Starbucks, where he works 30 hours a week. As part of the deal, Starbucks covers all tuition costs at ASU as long as he maintains a 30-hour workweek.
