That's a lot of mileage... does your company pay you for gas mileage?

What kind of work you do? I'm kind of in the same boat, cool thing is my company pays up to 8k a year for school up front. I want to take advantage of that shit asap.

How was the school?

The thing you have to consider about online schools is that when you go out and apply for jobs and you have a degree from an online school as oppose to a regular degree, the people with regular degrees will look better. I'm not saying that these schools can't provide the same education and that you won't be as smart as somebody that attended a regular college, but it's the way people perceive an online school. It doesn't hold as much weight yet in the eyes of a lot of people.

^Absolutely true, but if, after you've recieved this degree, you look at it as a ''foot in the door'' type of thing, you can go back when your hours are more flexible/you have more time and continue your education, earning other degrees.

Good luck.

you can get real degrees from real schools via web-based extension programs...just have to look around for the right program...but it'll probably cost quite a bit
