Well business is broad, what can I do with a business administration degree?

Federal contracting/government has a LOT of high paying fields. Budget analyst, contract analyst, cost analyst, procurement & supply chain management, etc. Even at the state and municipal level in some areas or in private industry.

Also look into MIS

I was in a community college. I wasn't motivated for college at all so I'm taking accountability of my faulting on screwing it up.
Look into academic renewal it allows bad grades to be removed from your transcript so you wont have to retake them if they aren't needed. it has to have been like 1 year after and you have to show that you are doing better but its a simple petition.
Also, look into your schools policy and how they handle taking a class over, most schools if you get a D or F in a class and you take it over, it will replaced your D/F and raise your GPA.

Don't think I can do that due to being in academic suspension on not have enough money to pay for my classes during the middle of the semester.

Write an email to the dean and also the president of the school(not a student president, the actual) explain your situation and if there is anyway they can remove the remaining balance or if you can get off of suspension. All of your problems are just a couple clicks away if you talk to the right people good luck, write the email, reread it, wait a day read it again, if it sounds good ask someone to look over it for you and then send it.

Thanks. I already know how to get out of academic suspension it's not my first time in it. Also, I have to take care of the suspension first before I can pay off the money since that's how its set up, sadly I need my money to take care of important thing before paying off the rest of the money.

Is the hbcu experience worth more debt? The only reason I'm in school now is just to say I'm getting a degree because I don't really need one for my career. I'm in community college now, but I'm getting ready to transfer to an Hbcu. I'm confused and don't know what to do anymore.

I'm in the same boat as you. Personally I'm not sure, but it really depends on the major. Good luck on your decision.

just turned 25 and have a one year old son. I have a lot of motivation to do well at this point in my life. The hardest part for me will be picking out a major. I did want to try to double major possibly in history and political science (or minor in one) but ppl have been throwing shade on that. So idk. I've just always loved history. :yeshrug:

Don't worry about other people opinions and do you. You'll be 29 years old with a bachelor's degree, trust me you're in a better position than most Americans. Remember only 16 percent of black men have college degrees. You'll be setting a great example for your son. Good luck to you.
