Great post here. One thing I'd like to say is always that most professional areas consider the Bachelor Degree just as the entry level requirement for an online diploma. Although Associate Diplomas are a great way to get started, completing the Bachelors opens many doorways to various occupations, there are numerous internet Bachelor Course Programs available via institutions like The University of Phoenix, Intercontinental University Online and Kaplan. Another thing is that many brick and mortar institutions provide Online variations of their certifications but often for a substantially higher fee than the corporations that specialize in online education programs.
