I would like to thank everyone who has submitted a comment. I also suggest you think about meeting with a real life community college career counselor if your local community college offers such a service. Sometimes you only need to apply to the college and get a student id (usually at no cost) to see a counselor.
Thank you all for your comments. I recommend that anyone wanting more advise, seek out a community college career counselor at their local college. Usually, you only have to apply to the college to get a student id to be eligible for a counseling appointment.
I don’t evaluate or have expertise concerning online line schools. However, “Sessions” is only offering classes for secondary level students, not college level students. Always check the “Accreditation” for the school to find out if the units or credits transfer to other colleges.
