Earning a degree if you’re working (or simply busy) isn’t as hard as it used to be. The time, distance and financial constraints of higher education have all but disappeared with the arrival of distance learning via telecommunications and online technology. Earning your degree online will take more discipline, as you will not have the instructor interaction everyday. Some people will do better in a classroom setting, while others can work on their own and get assignments done. A recent survey of students found twenty-six percent believed that online bachelor’s degrees were as credible as traditionally earned bachelor’s degrees, while 37 percent believed that online graduate degrees were as credible as traditionally earned graduate degrees. This perhaps follows the idea that people seeking graduate degrees are doing it online because it’s their only or best option due to current job demands. Those taking college courses online may be seen as more driven and self-motivated.
