I currently have a bachelors degree in Marketing. I worked in my field for 3.5 years(1 of those years as an internship). I stopped working during the third trimester of my pregnancy and have not been back to work since(it's been a year). When I was working in my field--I didn't really like the type of work I was doing, and realized that I didn't really have a passion for marketing(or at least the type of marketing I was doing). Since taking time off, I am now interested in a field that is a bit more mom friendly and that I actually enjoy doing. I've found various undergrad programs that I'm interested in, and a few grad programs. After talking to admissions at one school I was looking at, the admission counselor told me about enrolling as an adult student. I would basically transfer previous credits from when I received my bachelors(the general requirements) and basically just take courses in the field of my choosing(i.e. if it was public relations I was just take all public relations electives and core courses, without having to take math, science, etc). This path interested me, because I'm not sure if I'm interested in getting a masters in the field I am looking at. My question is has anyone does this--enrolled as an adult student, after previously getting a bachelors, and went on to get a second bachelors?
Or should I just get a masters anyway(even though I'm not really interested in that right now).
sounds like they were doing a sales pitch. depending on the field you can probably work your way in there without a degree in the specific field (as long as you have a degree in general which you do) without the cost.
Unless you are completely changing career focus (like going from having an English degree to wanting to be an engineer) a master's degree is the logical progression. Get an MPA or an MA in Communication, etc.

I've tried(in the past) and I have not been able to make the transition and work my way up to what I would like to be doing(even with my degree).

Thank you for the advice.
