Let's see: to do what I do, you would either have to complete 30 credit hours in early childhood education, or you would have to work for the center for a year. 30 credits is faster, albeit more expensive. When I'm finished with my degree in ECDE, I will be qualified for a job that typically requires 5 years of work experience to get without a degree.
Plus, I wouldn't trade all of the things I learned about myself, about life, and about the world during the course of my first degree. They're just as important as anything tangibly academic that I learned. For instance, I learned to fail. I learned to fail big time. I also learned how to dust myself off, get back on the horse, and keep riding.
