New Plans

[december_solstice]

Ideally, I'd like to get my Masters online from Southern New Hampshire University. They have competitive prices, especially for graduate degrees. The New School, where I originally planned to get my Masters, would have cost me about $3500 per course, whereas it would cost me half that here. I could collect enough financial aid to cover my tuition. Because the courses will be online, I will have an open schedule to work a regular job.

Problem is, my $1500 balance at The New School still needs to be paid off. I still need to pay that off or they will not release my transcripts. And, I will not be able to apply elsewhere. I should inquire anyway.

Again, ideally, I don't want to waste any time. I don't want to take a lot of time off. All that does is extend the time in which I don't have my degree. That puts me further away from my goal.

I don't know. Should I start some kind of fundraising page? I don't think it will be successful unless I have a big enough presence online.

I've never heard of Lulu. I'll check it out! Is this a better option than Amazon Books? I have a novelette on Amazon and available at other major online retailers.

I don't know if it's the best option nowadays but it used to be. You can publish your book online and they'll supposedly automatically give it an ISBN and send it to places like Amazon - but I last read all about how it worked some years ago so it could be different now. The good thing was that you used to be able to choose from a lot of different book sizes and paper qualities so you could get your book to be pretty cheap for anyone who'd want to buy it. (And, of course, you could make it an ebook.)

I never had a book on there that cost any money, but I did put up some free "magazines" I made and people did download them without me having advertised them.
