subject: Expanding Horizons: Online Degrees [print this page] Most people have big dreams for their careers. Becoming a lawyer, or a doctor, or a famous author, or a game designer are some of the more popular choices. All of these careers, however, require or at least very heavily favor higher education. For many people, this is not an option, perhaps because of money, or because schools in the area where they live don't cater to their profession. But these shouldn't have to be reasons to give up on dreams, and with online degrees, they don't have to be.
Online degrees are exactly the same as degrees from physical universities with one exception: not having to actually be somewhere in order to get them. Indeed, many universities offer distance learning or online-only versions of many of their degrees, and other universities are online only. A major benefit of online degrees is that they can be acquired for almost anything, and are in fact better than traditional degrees for some professions. The study of law, with all its reading and writing and lack of class lectures, can be completed online and it is often less nerve-wracking than a traditional study. Game design or digital media requires the student to be in front of a computer most of the time anyway, because lectures are of strictly limited value in a profession that requires software use.
Online degrees can also be found for esoteric subjects and sub-fields. If a person wants to learn something, there is probably a good, solid degree program on the internet somewhere, just waiting to be found. Add in the reduced cost due to lack of activity fees, dorm fees, parking charges, and all the rest, and Online Degrees have some very serious advantages over traditional modes of study. A person shouldn't give up on their future just because the circumstances aren't right. Make the circumstances right, take a look at online degrees.
