Abyssea 06/11/18 2:52:45 PM #1:	I'm debating going back to school to get my bachelors, but I don't think I can swing working full time and taking classes in person. If I could just do courses at my own pace at home, it'd work way better for me. I don't wanna spend thousands of dollars on something that'll end up being a worthless piece of paper though. --- https://imgur.com/F2h5rw2 <cite>Abyssea posted [p:902984641] in Do people ...

BlameAnesthesia 06/11/18 7:02:09 PM #7:	There is a difference between an online only college and a legitimate college that also offers online classes. The latter will give you a degree from a well known institution and your degree type doesn't specific "online." The former is the likes of University of Phoenix, which doesn't have a physical campus and is purely online.
