I think there is a misconception about degree programs that offer credit for work related experience. These degree programs are just as tough and demanding as a traditional college or university. The biggest difference is the online and work related degree programs allow working people to continue their educations by restructuring the typical classroom hours. They also recognize that the real world is just as important a classroom as the traditional classroom.

The older we get, the more excuses we make for not chasing after our dreams. But truth is, goals are attainable at any age.

Check out Franklin University`s online program.  A friend of mine is earning his MBA through them after finishing up his undergrad.  He let me check out one of his courses so I could see what it was like, and I loved the way they teach.  Very involving.  Actually, I just applied for the Winter 07 term and am looking forward to getting started.

I debated a long time about going back to school (I already had a couple years under my belt), basically for the time-value/education value trade-off.  What finally made the decision for me was knowing that if I ever needed any outside funding for my business (which is likely), I will DEFINITELY want to be able to show investors/banks a demonstrated knowledge of business, and my 8 years of sales experience would look so much better with a business degree to back it up.  Also, since my income has been crap lately, I qualified for enough financial aid to make the cost an almost non-issue.

Hope this helps.  franklin.edu
