subject: There's Time In Your Day For Online College! [print this page] Adults often wind up in a dilemmaAdults often wind up in a dilemma. They never finished high school or went to college and now feel their career is at a dead end. In order to advance one thing they must do is further their education. That's when they run into two major obstacles: time and money. Online college degree programs are the solution to these problems.
A good counter argument is a car mechanic who's tired of bruised knuckles and an aching back, yet at the same time has a head for numbers. By simply getting an Associates degree in accounting, the wrench jockey suddenly opens an entirely new career track, materials management. There are many companies that appreciate a bookkeeper who not only knows what a lug nut costs, but what a lug nut is. As for the (former) mechanic? His paycheck goes up from an average of $30,000 to slightly over $38,000. If you need more information about on line degrees, look on the internet.
The fact is the higher the degree level, the better the income. This also includes better benefits, from health and life insurance on to retirement, investment and other packages associated with degree jobs. These are cold, hard numbers from the U.S. Census. It's something one should consider when paying the bills every month.
There basically really are only two obstacles an adult student faces: time and money. Let's start with time. You don't have to commute to a campus, saving considerable time right there. An online curriculum can be patient. One needn't be at their computer at a set time every day. A student just needs to arrange some time every few days a week, when there's peace and quiet, and then go online from home. It doesn't matter if it's 3:00 p.m. or 3:00 a.m., Monday through Sunday.
As for financing said education, a prospective student should consult with a college's online financial officer. Another important resource is a search engine such as Google. There is an abundance of information about colleges online on the web.
What students need to know is that there are a lot of public grants and scholarships out there, both from federal your local state's Board of Education on to private companies and foundations. The company you work for could also be a good source. For example, Coca Cola and McDonalds give out millions of dollars each ear for the continuing education of its employees.
Another tip is if the site charges you for the aid, odds are it's not legitimate. Again, go to Google; type the organization's name and the word "scam" after it. If scam alerts pop up, it's time to think twice. Another good starting point for legitimate aid is the federal Board of Education.
