Degree

For a single degree? I think so. For two? More reasonable, though I can't see how the two you're thinking of doing build on each other

If its worth it to you then it's not too long. Don't slack. I know a girl doing 6 years bachelors degree right now, but she's double majoring and works hard as fuck. A lot of people have to do 5 years bachelors so 6 is not long, considering it is an electrical engineering degree.

Most engineers take a long time because it's a hard major and a high unit one

Nope. I took 6 years cause I didn't know what I wanted to do and I'm making 60k starting. As long as its not some garbage lib arts degree you'll be fine.

More than anything I'm just taking gen for the basics. So that I'm not completely wasting my time, I'm working to get some extra cash for uni.

Any advice if I go into it? I know it's math heavy but is there something else I do while I'm going for gen ed?

if you put your mind to it, you can finish a 4 year degree in 3 years.

Is the general education degree necessary? I don't disagree that having a good broad foundation is important, but many people just go engineering and go on to do just fine for themselves

If you're worried about employers or friends asking, you can say you took a few part time semesters while helping family or so.

But in general, yeah 6 years is a bit much for a single non STEM degree.

Kinda, the college I'm going too is pretty cheap and because of my grades I also get some scholarships, meaning that I actually make some cash off going to college. Saving all of it for uni, since uni is pretty expensive. Also transferring give's some scholarships and adjusted prices at some university.

Transferring will also take off some classes on a degree plan. Mainly focusing on the math classes to transfer.

In all, It's not really required, but it gives me some time to save up some cash and also let's me look at degree choices much easier.

How many hours did you put in it daily? Currently I'm just putting in like 3 outside of classes.

I'm in cs, part of the engineering program. I average around 2-3 hours a day. Sometimes 10 on high workload days. GPA is 3.749 at the moment

I was going to do mine in 5, but took an extra year to receive first class honors and the extra requirements that came in order to get it.

It does'nt really matter honestly. So as long as it isn't because you are constantly failing or dropping courses it does'nt matter how long you take.

I spent an extra year getting my gen ed degree, so It'll probably be 5-6 for me as well anon.

Don't sweat it, as long as its a good degree its fine. Hell I know old people that are still working on getting their degrees because they just started.

You've got time.

At my US state university, virtually nobody does it in 4 years, what with dropping classes or changing majors. The uni doesn't even keep 4 year graduating statistics, and considers it a success when a majority make it in 5 years.

i spent 6 years getting undergrad in computer science because i was working

then another 5 years getting masters

go for it
