It sounds like a good time to ask for tuition reimbursement.   A good company (if they still exist) won't be opposed to helping better their employees.  Especially for a dedicated worker who has saved the company tens of thousands.   I think Dan had an interesting comment about this being disc

There are obviously lots of Holocaust novels, movies and such, but another one that is really excellent in its balance of its approchability while still conveying a sense of the atrocities is the Maus graphic novel. Despite being a "comic" it won a Pulitzer and I know it's given as part of the read

You are in luck... Strayer has campuses all over the DC metro area. Also, you can mix it up: some online and some on campus. Tell your wife to back off for a few hours on Saturday or Sunday morning while you do the "online" part of your work. I bring my assignments to work (reading/writing) and do

I am not going to rock the ship too much here, but the fact of the matter is that often times a degree is needed, especially as a discriminator when two seemingly qualified people are interviewed and one has a degree and one does not.

Since your boss seems to be understanding. Tell the higher-ups that since you don't have that bachelors degree, you're obviously incapable of doing the work being asked of you.
