I have had a busy day a little crazy/hectic just my normal day rutine.Except I got this call about going back to school but the only twist is that it's online. 24/7. I spoke to someone about it and the next step is to see if I qualify for grants that'll help me pay for that. So we're going to do that tomarrow afternoon and to be quit honest, im a little antsy. Y? Well my husband told me that if I were to do that I wouldn't be able to find a good job if employers saw that I went to school online instead of in an actuall campus..is that true?Does it really matter how I attend? Because that's how I got my high school deploma-online. But it's a HS deploma nevertheless. So that's whats got me staying up right now.Is what he said true? I don't want to believe him, I want him to be wrong? Does that make me selfish or something?maybe a bad wife?

Maybe some jobs, but most employers are going to look at it and see the degree, and be happy with it.

I wouldn't say that it makes you selfish or a bad wife for that matter. I also don't think that it matters whether you attend online or in class as a good majority of things that are offered these days are online. Even when you attend in a classroom the magority of everything is still online regardless of the Instructor being on campus. As long as you work hard and do good it shouldn't matter to the employer whether you studied on line or in an actual classroom. Good Luck though in your future endeavors!

Your husband is all wrong. On line education will get you a job as long as the school you're going to has a good enough reputation. The world is going online and it's no different with employment. Soon, I believe, it won't matter where you go to school as long as you are equipped for the job. So go hunt for a good on line school and work hard and study hard. Am sure, you'll easily get a job right after. Good luck!
