I was looking into this because the community college in my area offers courses. You can get your associates degree or bachelors degree online. Have you ever thought of doing this or have you done this?

I haven't done a degree online. Although, I have taken some classes online before. You have to be able to keep yourself on task, and be a self motivator. It can be help, or a hinderance, depending on how you take it.

I am proud of myself for being completing all tertiary levels in academic learning and in my previous time I pursued my wish with my hard earnings inspired by "A Beautiful Mind" movie featuring hardship life encountered by Professor John Forbes Nash, Jr. I took academic twinning program and I sold all of my valuables belonging including my car to pay the academic fees. I really work hard for it. Actually, when we do talking bout tertiary level of achievements, it is not only for our paper qualifications, it also in some respect to enlighten the spirit of academic achievement to be pround and followed by our geneartions. Some valuable inspiration and aspiration for us and our kids to luck into it in their future time. I hope, you proceed your wish to have your online academic program which many on internet. Especially, the university listed in their program located nearest to your living area. Where sometimes you can meet your Faculty Dean or the relevant lectures for some fruitful tips of how to achive smart study for high scoring. Look for ways to study smart and not for study hard.

no I went to the actually university, the trouble with college courses on line is that the are not always courses for credit for a degree you have to be careful about that and many employers will not hire people with an online degree either.

It is always good to study in my opinion. But the online college is not so popular here yet. So I am afraid whether it can be accepted when you apply for a job. Here you can attend to study in your spare time and you will get your certification or degree when you pass the exams. Or you can buy books to study by yourself. As long as you can pass the exams, you will also achieve the certification or degree. But it seems it's harder as you have to depend on yourself. I love China
