Why Not Start Your College Education Online Today?
There are many of us out there who would love to extend our education in order to make more money in our chosen career, to get a head start in changing our careers, or simply to enrich our lives with the power that new knowledge can bring. Also, if you are like many of us, you may find it difficult to make time for the classes, labs, and the logistical requirements of attending a traditional college.
In such a scenario, you can find a solution to your problem in online educational facilities available on internet. You may not be clear about how can one can carry out education online and its requirements.
If you are interested in getting a college education and are considering taking college courses online over the internet you should be sure to do your research and find out all you can about you potential digital institution of online learning.
While there are numerous reputable, accredited, and established online universities and colleges there are also just as many fraudulent and questionable institutions on the wild, wild web as well. When considering something as important as the investment in your future that education is, it pays to take a look behind the scenes at what you are really signing up for.
One sure shot way to pick an authentic online university is to look for the online version of your local or state university. In today’s internet savvy world quite often you will find that your local college is offering a part or subset of a particular course online. Search hard and I am sure you will be able to find a full course online from a good state university that suits your requirements.
Digital media – Internet has something to offer everybody. Irrespective your interest there is always something available on the internet for your higher educational needs.
If you are an enthusiast for particular academic subjects without the need to log course hours toward the completion of a degree program, you may want to look at Open Courseware, a project of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (M.I.T) that provides the entirety of many courses online for free to those out there with a thirst for knowledge but without the test scores or the financial ability to attend the prestigious institution itself.
Be very wary of online scams and fly by night operations on the internet as well when considering enrolling in online college. These so called “degree mills” offer little to no education and undeniably questionable “degrees” to their customers who in essence pay for fake degrees without having to put in any work. These can not only be an expensive mistake but can do irreparable damage to your reputation if you are caught trying to pass off one of these so-called degrees as the real McCoy.
Of course there are pros and cons to any situation. If you are careful and select well then you have a very good way of improving your qualifications through an online degree from an established university. These degrees are best suited to those who want to continue with their education while keeping on with their respective jobs.

Help answer the question about degree in education online
How good is an online Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education?My wife is wanting to pursue a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary education. However, because she has to work AND go to school at the same time, it makes sense to get a degree online. But, she's worried about the accreditation and "respectability" of getting an education degree online. In other words, she's worried about spending all the time getting a degree online then not being able to get a job with it.
I was wondering if anyone has any good (or bad) experiences in getting an Education degree online. Also, what online school did you use? Any help would be very much appreciated, thanks!

Oh,. don't give up. You need three classes? That would be a terrible waste to give up now. I had the exact same issue and thought the same thing.
But really, hold on. get a tutor, or find a friend who is good at math (what I did. thanks, buddy)
You'll be able to contribute much more with that degree behind you
You do have a point that students who don't have a strong inclination to go on to higher education or don't know what they want to do (a category your Starbucks pal apparently falls into, since he's not working a research job or internship or something that might give him a wider range of opportunities when he graduates) should be more aware of the alternatives out there. Skills like yours are valuable, and should be more respected than they are.
That said, given that you're already doing so well for yourself, why do you need the associates' to pull down that $39 an hour? Obviously the formal education has some value, even if you don't plan on using it as a stepping stone to anything else.
Glad to know I'm in good company.
I can only tell you why I listen. I listen because I enjoy hearing his take on the issues. Gull-a-bull? That's silly. Only a Michael Moore koolaide drinker whould not want to hear all sides of an issue.
I'd earn my BA first, then if I still want that training, do the 8 month program. A liberal arts education is too important to me personally. http://www.smwc.edu/distance/general_studies/what_is_liberal_arts Any specific job out there today will be vastly different in 10 or 20 years, if it's around at all. But, a BA pays dividends througout your life by teaching you to think critically and to communicate.
I would look online for community services or perhaps services at school. Some offer a day class on making a great resume and how to interview well. Maybe you have all of the assests but do not know how to present them in a way to get hired. I had that problem and went through the same thing but I filled out 50 applications in that amount of time. I got help, and I got a job really quickly!!! Good luck!
So what's your question?
It sounds like she is done with the relationship. Not much you can do about that.
You didn't mention much about how she feels about YOU. (except the "We're done…") It's possible that she is simply homesick and needs to be in the big city. Would you live in New York? It's probably not a good idea though, unless she has begged you to come with her. I think she was with you because it was convienient and seemed right at the time.
Help her to get back to her family, let her know you will be available for her for a few months, then move on.
The Web offers tremendous opportunities for those who know how to harness it. You hear of stories of people who earn thousands if not millions of dollars from doing business on Web. While there are many scams (same way in the traditional business world), there are various ways you can legitimately make money on the Web.
Here are the main business models you can adopt:
1. Sell products on the Web – Big boys like Amazon or Lillian Vernon online catalog or smaller businesses like BigKidsVideo.com or Candle4Less.com all sell products on the Web.
You can either sell: (a) through your own storefront through your own website or applications such as Yahoo Stores; or (b) sell through online auctions like eBay
2. Information Delivery. Others such as About.com or EuropeforVisitors.com create content and monetize their content in a number of ways:
a. Advertising – From the article "How to Generate Advertising Revenues for Your Web Site" http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol28/adrevenues.htm , there are several ways you can earn money from advertising:
1. Join an advertising network. Advertising networks are organizations that aggregate Web sites that offer advertising space, and sell banner ads (and other advertising options) across them. Traffic requirement is often a minimum of 5,000 monthly impressions, although many do not accept sites hosted by free page services.
Burst Media http://www.burstmedia.com
Fastclick (ValueClick). http://www.fastclick.com
Advertising.com. http://www.advertising.com
Tribal Fusion http://www.tribalfusion.com
2. Participate in contextual advertising networks. Contextual advertising are text ads delivered based on the content of the web page using an automated system.
Google Adsense https://www.google.com/adsense/
Yahoo! Publishing Network (currently in beta and available to US publishers only) http://publisher.yahoo.com/
Intellixt http://vibrantmedia.com/site/web_01a5.htm
Quigo Adsonar http://www.quigo.com/adsonarexchange.htm
IndustryBrains http://www.industrybrains.com
Commission Junction Evolution http://www.cj.com
3. Sell advertising for your site directly. This is admittedly a more difficult route for a small business site wanting to earn advertising revenues. But hey, as they say: "no pain, no gain!"
b. Affiliate Programs – you sell other people's products that your audience may be interested in; and you get a certain commission after the desired action was done (whether a sale, a lead, subscription to email newsletter, or however this is defined)
c. Paid online content. Hoovers.com or WebmasterWorld.com Supporters forum all require paid subscription before accessing the information
d. Content licensing and syndication. Some publishers such as the Associated Press get paid every time their content is published elsewhere
First of all, quit sharing your life with these know-it-alls. This is an exercise in frustration.
If someone interjects their comment when you were not talking to them, smile your most condescending smile and say, "THANK you for SHARING that". (Emphasize the capitalized words.) Then turn your back on them to continue your conversation with the other person.
Another good one is if one of the know-it-alls brags about something (and God knows they are good at bragging.) Say, "How NICE for you!".
Again, with the supercilious condescension.
They will soon leave you alone, and you will probably live a lot longer for not having had their rancid input!!
EDIT: It just occurred to me that these guys are running scared. YOU have the most education! They may be thinking that their own jobs might go to a much more qualified WOMAN. And like the immature little boys that they are, decided to make life hell for you at work, in hopes you'll quit, and be replaced by an immature man.
How pathetic.
Personally I think there are too many other factors involved to tell. The biggest issue I have is that, according to this letter, the student checked for the exam schedule in one place and then kind of shrugged and gave up when the exam times didn't appear exactly where he expected them to be. If you know you have to do something and the syllabus says you won't have a second chance to do it, you exhaust every option you have to find out the due date of the assignment or the time of the exam, up to and including emailing the professor RIGHT THEN to ask for clarification. You don't sit around waiting until after the end of the semester to deal with the problem. If the student's record showed that he or she got the other assignments in on time and was generally a good student (not in terms of grades, but in terms of things like being prompt with assignments, participating in class, and whatever else was required of the course), I would be much more inclined to cut the student some slack and arrange a make-up test. On the other hand, if this was just the latest in a series of events showing that the student lacked responsibility (e.g. turning in other things late, showing up late for class or not showing up at all) I would be much less inclined to make an exception.
Also, seriously? Don't lay it on so thick. Just be straightforward, own up to your mistake, and make your request. There's no need to give your life's story or give a long, drawn-out explanation of how you have learned from your mistake or of how much time you devoted to studying algebra each week.
