I just started yesterday and so far its really pretty cool! Everything is done by newsgroups in Outlook Express! And you can work ahead if you want to. The teachers give you the syllabus for the whole course. Anybody else out there ever do the online college deal?

<font color=skyblue>I've taken classes online before, but not the entire curriculum. I hear that some of those degrees are from phony colleges that does not do anything for a resume. How does one go about finding real and valued online universities?</font>

I did a ton of research on these guys. Plus I know a few people that are currently taking classes or already graduated. I'm going to University of Phoenix's sister school Western International University/Axia College. At first I was skeptical but I checked them out online and asked the enrollment counselor a large amount of questions. For example: Are you guys for real? Will I look like an idiot if I put this on my resume? Will other schools take the credits from your school? Are you an accredited school? Things like that. So far, I'm not disappointed.

<font color=skyblue>I know that BYU has an online degree option. BYU accepts a lot of international credits that other colleges do not. I have heard of the one you are talking about advertised on the radio and from what I have heard, I feel that you are right,,,they are a trustworthy college.

I will be very interested in hearing how you're doing form time to time, and what problems happen to come up if you don't mind me checking in on you every once in a while. It is an option that I know that my wife is interest in within the next two years. </font>

College aye? Well.. I have never understood American schools. So much to choose from and theyre soo expensive.. but the best thing is that 9/10 men get laid in college (Stats taken from movies with 38 year olds dressing as 18 year olds).

Mr. Larry, ;)
I will keep you updated on how everything goes with this. One thing I forgot to mention is that they will also take into account life experience and that can translate into credits too!
