Good for you, Ayla! Having direction is a wonderful motivator.

The web sites you saw for getting a degree in 1-2 years most likely assumed that you are starting out with a bachelor's degree. Or if it was for a bachelor's, usually they assume you are starting out with the equivalent of an associates degree.

A couple of things to think about--

Once you finish up the first two years of college (all the basic, general requirements), there are lots of different ways to earn your degree, other than the traditional way. (Although, personally, if you CAN do it the traditional way, I would highly recommend it just for the experience.) For example, my husband had his first two years finished through a community college. Then he went to a local private college which had a program which met only one night per week for 15 months. Then he was done!

Four math classes can seem like a lot, but don't be discouraged. You don't have to finish them before you can start taking other classes that you find more interesting. You just have to take them some time before you graduate. I'm taking classes online at Regis University. They have an accelerated format where the semesters are only 8 weeks instead of 16. You might look into something like that.

Congratulations on making an important decision! If you went in the direction of being a school librarian, I know they're in pretty high demand. It seems no one majors in library science anymore.
