So I barely graduated from HS... all of my college apps got denied with my GPA although I did pretty well on the SAT. So I just took some time off- started working, doing random biz, wasting time. Then I went to Perimeter and continued wasting time, failing classes due to attendance, etc. Then after the 3 year mark at a 2 year school, I figured I needed to GTFO. This whole time the cars, computers, and business were awesome hobbies to have- I picked up tons of awesome skills during these years, networked quite a bit, etc. I learned that even though I had the skill set to get a big boy job, I couldn't with nothing but a HS education. Watching all of my friends graduate and get real jobs while I was sitting in perimeter wasting time/space, I got on my grind. Literally 2 semesters after this epiphany, I transferred to Tech and was in and out in 2yrs on the dot. This includes a Study Abroad in China i took for literally no reason that did nothing for me degree-wise.

Im taking Network Security classes right now and 1 class every semester im taking Gen Ed to transfer to GSU for a 4 year degree
I would highly recommend transferring to GT from GPC. It's so easy and tech is actually cheaper than GSU. Forget everything that's on their little curriculum guide, get overrides into classes if you have to. Just take ENGL 1101/1102, Khan's academy some math and take precalculus, calc 1 and calc2. Take 2 lab sciences as well. I had a shitty GPA due to my years of slacking, but I somehow got in. Don't do perimeter's TAG program, you waste time- they just want you to get your associates with them. The program I did at GT is equivalent to CIS @ GSU, it's business administration concentration: Information Technology Management.
