Interesting post here. One thing I'd like to say is most professional job areas consider the Bachelor's Degree as the entry level standard for an online course. Even though Associate Qualifications are a great way to get started on, completing your current Bachelors starts up many good opportunities to various jobs, there are numerous on-line 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 offer you Online editions of their qualifications but usually for a substantially higher amount of money than the institutions that specialize in online college degree programs.
