Whatchyall think?

And whatchyall know about online degree programs with accredited skools?

I mean, I have 6 weeks here on the boat with not a whole lot to do when off shift- Lord knows I don't sleep.

I am debating on taking some courses next time around. If I can.

Kinda curious and debating on either some sort of business second bachelors or engineering.

Any bright idears? Dim ones will do too.

far as i know, studies generally show a vastly reduced knowledge retention rate amongst online college courses. in simpler terms, ye just don't learn as much.

otherwise, there's only so much that can be offered online...it's still a pretty damned dry well, so to speak.

if you shoot me some colleges/course outlines, i'll be happy to research it for ya; well, when i sober up eventually, anyhow.

otherwise, do what i do - invest lots of time and online sweat equity and teach yourself the shit.

business is one of those few things wherein you actually *don't* have to possess a degree to get by, if you do it right.

as fer engineering, i reckon it's something that requires a bit of hands-on skills. otherwise it's just theoretical math and so forth...not really a justifiable college course. 'specially online.

go read more, fakker. :p or see how much of de boat you can disassemble without out anyone noticing.

Oh, I already have been doing that. hehehe

Just asking right now. When I get home I will talk face to face with some profs and see what is available. Not much info can be garnered from their university websites. Oh well...

haha, universities need webdesigners like me.

something i glossed over (probably from being drunk, oops!) is that online course providers tend to not be *that* credible.

so, as i kinda touched on - you're stuck between proven academic success or just learning the shit regardless of paperwork.

much harder issue.
