Ok, time to get serius

This is going to a very long post with many topics. Feel free to give me your opinion and feedback at anytime.

To start things off let us chat about college.

My college career has been quite a roller coaster ride. Tons of ups and downs a couple of spirals. Best way to break it down would be to go with past, present, future.
PAST
Went to Bismarck State College and graduated with an AS degree. Funny thing about my major it says on my transcripts, Transfer Studies. How the hell does that ever look good on a resume.
Job Interview
What was is your major?
Ah...Transfer Studies...
How do you think your major will help you clean the restrooms better?
Pretty much a joke of a major.
I attend the Medcenter One College of Nursing. I had way to much going on in my life and my grades are the ones that got the short end of the stick...I would much rather have lost my grades then lose the kids in court.
PRESENT
After three years off I am now a full-time student again at the University of North Dakota pursuing a major in Public Administration. Current gpa 2.25 :'( *sigh*
Reasons this has never be rising. Work. Working full-time to support two little kids with child support and health care does take time away from sleep and studies.
FUTURE
Plans have changed quite a bit with baby on the way. I have applied at Mayville State so I can move to California to support the woman I love with her stressful time of being a mother and medical student. I applied at Mayville hoping to get a bachelor's of science in business administration. But, after some investigating I find out that it is a bachelor's of applied science in business administration that is offered online.  Now this has got me very concerned because the course requirement are very short compared to a bachelor's of science in BA.  Which in turn means what kind of job can I get??
That is my biggest worry right now. So some ideas to combat this fear is to talk to the adviser's at Mayville State on Friday. And, I was thinking I could talk to my companies Human Resources department and ask, "Would you be more likely to hire some one with a BS over a BAS?"
Over all my goal is to complete online while supporting Elizabeth anyway I can.

Moving on from college let us turn our attention to Finances.
My financial situation cannot get much worse. My credit score has to be hitting 400 by now.
Somethings that have on my mind...
Transferring to Mayville State in mid-year like this can prove to be rather interesting with finical aid. We can all hope for an easy transition but we all know that will not happen.
When I move out to CA there are some unknowns. Income, I need to find something! Health Insurance, Not only for myself but my family (Elizabeth, Grace, Joseph, and baby) This day and age this is very important. I can cover things for a bit with the COBRA after I resign but I need to find something I can keep for a long term bases. Which in turn goes back to finding a decent job which in turn goes back to complete a decent degree.

I will take a break from my complex mind for now and continue to ponder what is the best choice. Feel free to leave ideas and concern in the comment field I will address them all in another post.
