I want a degree, but I am off work from an injury, so I don’t have a lot of money. I do want to get a degree. I already have an associate, in liberal arts. I don’t want to go into a classroom.

I want to get a Bachelor‘s degree in business, eventually an MBA. However, my work schedule makes it near impossible to take traditional classes. I thought about University of Phoenix, but I worry that I will pay a lot of money to get a degree that is not very reputable. Does anyone have any suggestions? My preference is taking distance ed classes from a traditional university. One in Oregon would be great, but the two big ones do not offer the necessary DE classes.

I mean for the economic climate. Is an associate degree even relevant anymore? And would a BA acquired online be looked down upon? I don’t think I have the money, grades, or patience for grad school.
