    Online degree colleges

    Was wondering if they (any of them) are worth the time, effort, or money. I can not afford regular college and can not get FAFSA so my only choice is to find a school to make monthly payments. So I was wondering if I am just wasting my time searching or does anyone know much about them. Thanks in advance!!

    My youngest daughter(because of being in Germany) is going through the University of Maryland and my midded daughter again(because of military) is going through the University of Texas. They both are big universities and with those degrees, I don't think that they will be easy to come by.

    I'm currently in a master's program at Virginia Commonwealth University. It's a little bit different/harder than the other online programs I have seen. We have class at a set time and you have to show up to class with a microphone plugged into your computer. It's not like some of these school's you have never heard of where you just write a paper, get an A, write another paper, get an A, and move on. VCU has payment plans as well. Overall, as long as you go to a school that has "name' value I think you'll be ok. I would avoid any school that you have never heard of.
