Does an online college degree hold as much weight in the real world, as one obtained from a community college?

I’m almost 30 and have some credits at a community college. Well life sorta got in the way lol. I sorta like to be around people, but I’m finding a lot of social interaction with the internet; so I was thinking of taking classes that way. I know sometimes online schools aren’t acredited and maybe a human resources person generalizes them all that way. What do you think?
ummm what’s up long-gone. I’m a new member level 1, just joined not even a padawan yet. How does that make me bogus.

lol YUP! life gets in the way of getting the degree alright, but if you waited until life didn’t get in the way, you would be waiting a very long time! so I encourage you to go ahead with it!
About the online schools…. there are both pros and cons to classes that are online. I took online courses for my BA and failed (twice if I remember correctly)… you have to be a SUPER self-starter and have 0% procrastination (or at least be able to handle the ‘procras’ part)..
And you are right about the accreditation! make sure that the school you would be attending online is a school that is accredited by both the association that you are tailoring your degree to (such as social workers getting their master’s would want the school to be accredited by CACREP). The university would also need to be accredited through a national accreditation check this link out for more information:
