Research the sites well. This is a career move and this should be done right. Talk to a school guidance counselor in your place as that person is most qualified to help you with this decision right now.

Sorry kind of in the same boat as well. I jsut haven't started school yet, just quit my job at a call center customer service job, and I just got married. I can understand where you are coming from with not knowing were to begin or end. I know I plan on going to college next year just not what for yet. In my opinion though, I would not go to a college online. That is just my opinion. My mom tried going to a college on line and she states that it is very expensive doing that its a lot cheaper going to just a regular school in your area. The only way that I would go to the college online is if I know the school that I would be attending. Good luck with whatever you decide.

Hello JessieAnn, I don't know if this will help or not but it might make you feel better. I am 41 years old and still don't know what I want to do with my life! I guess that the first thing you could do would be to think about what hobbies you have that make you happy. For instance, if you like to read then maybe you could look into becoming a Librarian (they can make very good money) or you could sit down and write a list of the things you like to do and what types of jobs fit that criteria. Otherwise there are a good many Online Colleges to choose from. They offer Student Loans and can also help you get Student Grants. I just went to my web browser and plugged in 'online colleges' and the search came back full. You could try that and see which one sounds right for you. I think that Fall classes are starting soon. Well, I hope that helps or at least makes you feel better. Sincerely, dmpres

Sorry. I'm in the same boat. Everyone I run into... EVEN PEOPLE I DON'T KNOW! Ask me what i'm doing with life and if i'm going to college. I'm only 18. I don't want to go to college because there isn't a job I would love or even like to do everyday. My only advice for you and I guess for me too... is to not let people influence you and follow your heart. If you have a job you would like to go to college for go for it. Otherwise just find a job you don't HATE. Good Luck!
