Online Education
Time is money, right? Well, not always for us frugal folks, but in some cases we’re willing to give up a little money for some convenience. Online Education is one of those conveniences that I am currently paying for.
I attended college after high school but after my second year I decided to transfer. Once I transferred I decided to work. I worked and met my husband. I met my husband and got married. Two kids later I decided to get back to school. I discovered that the college I attended had a distance learning program and I leaped at the chance to avoid time-consuming lectures and instead finish my degree from home. For me, the cost of my distance education was equivalent to the cost of daycare for my then two, now three, children.
Things to remember about distance education:
Make sure your school is accredited.
Make sure the program who are in will fulfill all requirements needed for licensure in your state.
Find out about financial aid.
Is distance education right for you?
If you are a self-motivated, you will do fine. I find that keeping an assignment calendar is essential. I map out each day what assignments I need to do and what tests I need to study for.
In the long run, distance education is a great choice for those who cannot quit their jobs to attend traditional classes. Stay at home moms can get their degree via distance education without having to pay for daycare.
