Members Neilrocks25 Posted September 28, 2007 Members Share Posted September 28, 2007 I was 35 married and had two kids Don't get me wrong I'm not putting you down. I just feel part of my education was being around the professors and other students. I learned a lot from the chick that sit beside me My wife is not working so who will pay the bills? I cannot work a 60 hour week and go to Uni I dont get home until 20.30?? I await your comments By the way a lot of this course material comes from Oxford uni.

Members Cibyl Posted September 28, 2007 Members Share Posted September 28, 2007 For most jobs (that require it) they just want to see the degree on your resume,...get's you in the door. That's it. Either going to school at and actual campus or online -- really doesn't matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dr. Tweedbucket Posted September 28, 2007 Members Share Posted September 28, 2007 How do you guys feel about getting a BS degree online? I had to drive 40 miles everyday for years and now you can sit on your ass and drink beer and get a BS degree in less than 4 years That's pure BS if you ask me. They should have to tunnel through snow like I did to get to school. Damn kids Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members riffy Posted September 28, 2007 Members Share Posted September 28, 2007 I see nothing wrong with it at all... As long as the curriculum is met and the university is accredited, whatis the problem with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators justcrash Posted September 28, 2007 Moderators Share Posted September 28, 2007 I see nothing wrong with it at all... As long as the curriculum is met and the university is accredited, whatis the problem with it? That is my thought process as well. I just finished up my Associates. The second part was all online after I shifted gears. The online classes were a lot harder and more work then the ones where I went to class in a building. Just my $.02 worth.

Members petejt Posted September 29, 2007 Members Share Posted September 29, 2007 i just really dont dig classroom settings. i do much better on my own. plus, im 27 now and dont really relate well to college students. I know heaps of university students that are well into their 30s, 40s, and even 60s and 70s. In every single subject I studied at university, for the whole 5 years, was an old man. And they're just as cool to study and hang around with , as all the younger tykes. Not all "college students" are 20 year old frivolous frat house conformist lunatics living off daddy's credit card. Although, those are the ones that I stay away from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 9ball Posted September 29, 2007 Members Share Posted September 29, 2007 what are you going to say when somebody asks you what school you went to? and how will you feel about that? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ducky_x Posted September 29, 2007 Members Share Posted September 29, 2007 I think that kids should get away from their folks, get {censored}ed up, have fun and learn the most valuable lesson in University.... Get your degree, but HAVE fun while doing it. I don't see anything wrong with online, but If i had to choose between two people. One with an online degree and one without, I would pick the person that went to school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members riffy Posted September 29, 2007 Members Share Posted September 29, 2007 I have an MBA, I still don't see what the problem is with NOT attending a brick and mortar institution... Would people disagree with Oxford or quite a fewother FINE european institutions in giving out lawdegrees for (3) years of study? (3) years of total study that is... The US recognizes these degreesand you can practice anywhere in the US and acrossthe world after passing the bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jopop Posted September 29, 2007 Members Share Posted September 29, 2007 I am doing an online course, but I do go to Uni every 2 weeks. I am not lazy I work a 60 hour week this http://www3.open.ac.uk/courses/bin/p12.dll?Q01B13 What the {censored}? 60 hour week? In Norway a standard work week is 40 hours.

Members LaPepi Posted September 29, 2007 Author Members Share Posted September 29, 2007 Not to discourage you, but Online classes are VERY difficult if you aren't self-motivated. I learned the hard way. I will agree with that! I did a two year associates in Industrial Electronics throught NRI institute in Washington DC. I will admit it was harder than college. Back then I had to do it all via mail. No computers young bucks I did good but it was a challenge to make myself do it. Problem with all the work was ... Nobody thought much of my degree through NRI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Machine Gun Posted September 29, 2007 Members Share Posted September 29, 2007 Go to school if you can but there's nothing wrong with online if you can't. The great thing about actually going to school is your ability to network and meet people. Really helps to open up things in the job market.

Members Romanian Reaper Posted September 29, 2007 Members Share Posted September 29, 2007 How do you guys feel about getting a BS degree online? I had to drive 40 miles everyday for years and now you can sit on your ass and drink beer and get a BS degree in less than 4 years I am retiring from the military in two years and will be doing a civilian equivilent of my current job, making a lot of money. I'v talked with civilians that work alongside me and all of them say the same thing. Most companies could give a crap where you went to school as long as you have the degree. And another thing that people don't realize. Most of the people doing interviews for jobs, haven't been with the company that long themselves.
