Speaking of degrees and not using them... I have an Automotive Technology degree I earned back in 01 and I have been in the cell phone biz since 04 (I sell phones for TMO!)... I'm now going back to school to be a teacher... which is what I wanted to do originally but decided I wanted to be an engineer instead... That would be degree #2 (only got the AA part done tho) in 02...

That being said... the "core classes" for 2 year degrees are pretty different between both schools and degrees... yes if you get an AA degree a lot of classes will transfer over as gen ed, but A lot of classes that I took as required courses back in 97-99 at the first school I went to transferred over as gen ed to the second school I went to in 00-02 and a lot of those transferred as gen ed to this school I started at in 08... so all of my "electives" have actually been requirements from other schools... I have not taken any classes that I wanted to take. There were even classes like college algebra that I had to take twice because one school wouldn't recognize the other schools course number as equivalent... and honestly... half of the stuff I took at actual schools I would not have had to take at my online school.

So I know you want to get an education... but I would really think pretty hard about what you want to do FIRST... maybe take one of those tests that matches up your skills and interests with potential jobs? And think about where you want to live... do you want to move for a job? If not then don't go get a degree in something that you'd have to move for.

I really think that I learn a lot more with these online classes than I would going to a class. I tend to space out and doodle and not pay attention to the teacher while I am day dreaming. I have horrible study habits... I have yet to read any of the texts for my online school... I use the index quite a bit to find the subjects that I need and focus on those... but yet I have learned more than I could have imagined I would with this set up

So... someone want to write this paper for me?
