When I took my career decisions class, my teacher was a career counselor and half of the people that came into her office the people didn't even know what they degree, they had was even for, or how to do the job. In a way online classes are convenient, but the failing rate is somewhere around 70%

I think that there are some reputable colleges - Capella, University of Phoenix - but you have to be careful. There are a number of factors when considering this - for example, what would you like to receive your bachelor's degree in? For example, if you would like to work at a prestigous university or enter academia in general, having an online degree may hurt you. Although I am not totally sure about it, I think a degree online in IT wouldn't harm you. It really depends on the field. Keep in mind that you have to decide what kind of learner you are. I took many of my courses online or independent study, and I really had to be self-motivated. It took alot for me to finish those courses, especially when no one was breathing down my back. If you do decide to attend college online, I would try to get some experience to back it up. Join professional associations, attend conferences, network, etc. Good luck!
