So you do not have to study on off time, after a long duty day and be able to socialize with friends and co-workers? Lastly, I wish you luck but completing classes online has yet to do anything for you. It may or may not turn out to have been a good decision.
I disagree... In the aviation business, isn't a degree still a degree regardless of where it came from? You could have a degree in fashion if you wanted to. Right? Its not like you have to list your degree as being earned "online" on your resume.

I am finishing my degree online with UVSC, and I believe it really makes no difference at all; I am learning quite a bit and it is just as much work and studying as the traditional method of school.
