Back to school...back to school....

[nevaehsmom327]

For me! Not the kiddos.

So, the last few months I have really been considering going back to school. Like, REALLY REALLY considering it. While I love my job, I love what I do, I just feel like it's not enough to continue to survive off of for the rest of my life. Does anyone have any online schools they would recommend, or NOT recommend? (Yes, I want to do all online, no in class stuff, I don't have time for that)

I'm thinking of going along the lines of web design or multi-media. So if you know of any really good programs out there, please let me know.

Thanks in advance for any advice, tips, recommendations, etc.

I got my physical therapy aide certification through PennFoster.. They were great! I had no issues with doing it online... it was all at my pace for the most part.. they always had my materials to me on time... very quickly actually... The site itself was really user friendly and they had great supports if you had questions.
I think if I were to do another online cert. or degree I would definitley use them again!!!! ANd I know they have a web design degree!
I don't know what the price was. it was covered by my job at the time... but surely the website would tell you.

good luck!!

I have no knowledge in this area but want to say "Go for it!" People sometimes regret NOT going back to school, but you rarely hear of someone who regretted doing a course/ getting their degree etc. So good luck!! My random idea would be to talk to someone who works at a company or in an area you want to move to some day and get their input on what would make you more employable / more likely to get a job at that place/ company/ position.

Definitely go-for-it. You can totally do it and it will feel soooo good once you're done!

I go to an "on-campus" school but take as many classes as I can online. One of my friends went to University of Phoenix and he liked it.

Keep in mind that even though the class was online he still had certain times that he had to be logged in and commenting on the lectures. I haven't ever had to do that with my online classes.

I have no advice on online classes. I went to MSB and took very few classes online because I prefered to be in the classroom. Good luck though and good for you!
