SWEET!!! I'm a college graduate!
As of Sunday, I became a college graduate; I've earned my Bachelor's in Computer Science from Capella University (capella.edu). And with the current state of the economy, I am DAMN glad I decided to take this step almost 3 years ago.
Is anyone else here currently or recently enrolled and working on a degree? I found it to be a great experience. It sounds like enrollment in online universities by working adults has skyrocketed over the last 6 months: CNN link Z |

My advice is go to graduate school if you can't find a job within the next couple months. Stay in school until the storm ends.

Kinda depends on what you want a degree in. Different colleges specialize in different degree fields. My school does computer science and business degrees. My wife is actually working on getting a Master's in Psychology from an online university as well. They all offer financial assistance, to my knowledge. I highly recommend taking the step! Z

Fortunately, I've already got a great job in IT and have over 10 yrs' experience in the field. I mainly did it for better job security and a better salary. Almost every open position in my field requires a Bachelor's, so after I got laid off in 2005 I decided I had no choice but to go back to school...
