Thread: Online college?

  1. #1

    Online college?

    I'm ready to give up on college. I'm 27. It's my second stab at it, and it's just not working for me. It's completely my own fault, my own failings, not trying to say otherwise.

    Anyone done the online college thing? University of Phoenix Online or something similar? I'm considering New York State's Empire State College, which is aimed at working adults.

    Kind of. We never actually had sex. Unless you count oral. And she turned out to be crazy bipolar. On a ton of meds for it.

    i work for an online school. let me say this:

    it's the perfect learning method for some people.

    it is a horrible idea for others.

    you have to have good time management skills. you have to have the ability to learn without the normal class room environment. you have to have a strong internet connection and the time to devote to it. because you don't have to be there for specific times, people tend to forget to schedule 'study' time. that's what gets a lot of people.

    Do NOT do University of Phoenix. When you go to get hired, people will laugh at your degree.

    Try a vocational school or a certification program. Do a little research. Find something in your area that seems cool and something you think you may enjoy. Go visit the place. That's how I got into my IT program, and I dig the crap out of it.
    Why do you still have signatures turned on?

    My biggest problem right now is balancing school and work.

    I work full-time. And professors think that school should be your only job, and assign accordingly.

    And I have to work odd hours to work around my class schedule, which gives me less sleep, less 'me time', and more stress. That's why I think online will be better. I can work a normal day, do homework/study when I need to, and not have to worry about giving up free time as much. I'm working 5 days, and in class the other two. So no real day off. So when i get a few hours off I tend to waste it.

    Are we sure it's not this that's getting in the way of the Ed-u-muh-cay-tion?
