why opt for an online degree?

I stopped for gas yesterday. A full tank now costs me almost rm120 and it sometimes lasts me less than a week. Mom’s taxi is becoming very costly.

Even with Steev taking the college bus one-way, I still have to pick him up at the end of class every day and his college is like 20km away.

Sometimes I wonder if we should switch him to an online university degree program instead. If nothing else, it will definitely save us a bundle on transportation alone. So I foresee online degrees will gain popularity simply because of this.

But I wouldn’t want Steev to forgo the social aspect of going to college which he won’t get to enjoy if he does his degree online at this stage.

      I considered finishing up my college degree with an online program. I just wasn’t sure I’d stick to it. Plus, I was afraid of technical problems. What if my computer crashes, or I lose my connection. I am so not technical, that stuff always scares me!

      Glad your son has found good transportation to school!

      Thanks for stopping by. I know what you mean but online programs are self-paced so I think you can take your time.
