If you have e full time job, then you know just how time consuming it can be. And if your is a full time job is like mine where you are a salaried full time employee, then you know that the whole 40 hour work week thing is nothing short of a myth! I put in more like 50 hours a week which doesn’t always leave me the free time to do some of the things that I would like to.
One of those things that I have always wanted to do was finish my college education. I was a junior in college when I got caught up in the food service industry. It’s a field that tends to suck people in. And once you start working your way up the ladder, it’s often hard to look back. I kept thinking to myself that at some point I would go back to college, but it just never seemed to happen.
That is until now though. It’s easy to put things off, and before you know it things like goals can get forgotten about. I was not going to let that happen. I found that online colleges are just as legitimate as the one I was going to before I got my job. And at this rate I’ll graduate in less than a year. A diploma is a diploma.

I work 6 days a week and go to school 4 days i week! I have no time for anything fun anymore. But I have to work to pay for school!
I had to work full time while going to college. It took me 6 years to finish my degree, but I was able to get there.
I had to take a break to build up money before starting college. After going a couple of semesters, I had to decide whether to take off more time or work and go to school. I wound up choosing the later.
I think that online schools are a great idea. Nowadays there just doesn’t seem to be enough time to go to work and get a diploma. Studying from home is a good alternative.
Do you think that people consider an online degree a real degree? I’m worried that I spend the money, take the time and work hard to earn an online degree and no one will take it seriously.
