Online education

Do your due diligence about the specific online education program you are considering. As with anything, there are some trusted programs and some scam programs. I would check with your local college and see if they suggest any online educational programs. Be sure that that online program has a certified degree. I would check with companies first and see if they accept online degrees. Lots to check into but if you do your due diligence first, it will indeed be worth your time.

I take online classes and it is well worth it to me. I suggest you research colleges and determine which ones offer the course work you need for your career goals, then find out if they are accredited in your program. For instance there are many schools that offer coursework in Social Work but they are not recognized/accredited and so you could begin with them but should transfer to a university that has its accreditation for that program. Also I think most universities and colleges allow for financial aid even if the classes are online. Check with their FA Office before you apply for aid. Most employers are accepting of schools that are again accredited so that is going to be the key.
