Going back, Should I attend an online college or a typical college for a business administration degree?
Online- cheaper way more flexible and i can do it when i want.?? but is it worth it? is it recognized by employers the same way? If so which ones are ?
typical college- expensive, less leniant schedule, public speaking, but a better education?
What should I do?
Also, If i do attend a typical college, can an associates degree increase my salary a lot more than just a H.S. degree? What is the average job for one who has aquired an associates degree?

Hi. I just started teaching English in Korea a month ago. My contract is for a year. I want to go to France as an English teaching assistant next year if I can get that job. Otherwise, I’ll stay in Asia (probably Korea or Japan) for at least another year because I am so much happier with this job then I’ve been with any other. I am also fluent in Russian and hope to become fluent in French (took it throughout college). I think I might want to turn language education into a career. If I get a TESOL master’s online, will it increase my salary in Asia, South America and Europe? Also, If I pass the subject tests in Russian and French for American teachers and have an online master’s in TESOL, will I be able to teach these languages in the United States? I know that TESOL is about teaching English, but it’s still a degree in teaching a foreign language. Will anyone take an online degree seriously anyway? What if it’s an online master’s, but from an actual university? Thanks.

Okay I just started through the University of Phoenix Online and I’m trying to determine whether I should pursue a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Adminstration, Human Resources, or Accounting? I’m trying to look at things in a long term what degree will increase my salary? good benefits? I’m wanting to relocate by Dec next year to Texas when I graduate.
Any advice? I appreciate it

I need some good ADVICE. I have been living overseas and have been doing a Masters in Education ONLINE at Seton Hall (so it is accredited, part of the brick and mortar school). I didnt want to waste time, and that is why I did it. I completed one year of the 2 year program. Bcs I knew I was coming back to live in the U.S., I decided to apply to a local University to complete the Masters in person at the University. They “assured” me I would be able to transfer ALL the credits and finish the Masters in one year. Because of this, I took a leave of absence from the other program.
NOW, I get back to the U.S. and spoke with my advisor at the University local, and she told me that there was a problem and that all my credits will NOT transfer, and that I have to begin the Masters from scratch and do everythign over again (I can only transfer 2 courses). Because I took a semester off at the other one (I didnt want to pay for classes that I would have to take again), if I go back to take ONLINE, I will not be able to start classes again (it is a cohort program, in which we take classes at the same pace) until August 2010, and finish in Spring 2012, the same as the local University.
So, basically my choices are to start the Masters from scratch at the local University adn start in January 2010 and finish in Spring 2012, or wait until the fall 2010, and continue online, but only have one year of classes to complete. (and not have to repeat all the classes again) I know it is “better” to do it in person, but for this degree, I dont feel it really matters in terms of connections, because I will be taking the internship here in the U.S.
I am so confused, what should I do?? Would you take the entire program over again just to do it in the classroom? or wait until the fall and finish online and only have one year left. Either way, I will finish both programs in Spring 2012….what do you think I should do??

I just started on-line college courses. I’m not sure how to word that on my resume. Since I just started, should I just not list it?

Here’s the deal…my wonderful husband is in the military. He is an E5 and testing for E6 in a few days. The highest rank an airman can be is an E9. So he’s obviously got some rank on him. Here’s our dilemma. His term is up in December 09. At that point he will have been in for 11 years. We are trying to decide what is best for us. We can’t decide whether or not we should re-enlist or not. If he does re-enlist we will only have nine more years before he can retire if he wants and collect that lovely paycheck every month. Not to mention the free medical and dental for our family for life. But this also means that I am out of a job or at least a career. I would have to work doing something but I would just take a job that wasn’t a career path and just more or less a way to make some money. The other option we have is for him to get out and then me take over my fathers business. I would probably make around $70,000 per year but I would also be a full time career woman. This has never been my dream. I have always dreamt of being a mommy that works not a working mommy. You know? Another dilemma for that would be my man would then be the one who takes any old job here and there that he can. What do we do???
Military Career
Pros
Only nine more years
Medical and dental benefits for life.
The chance to see the world perhaps.
A guaranteed paycheck after retirement every month.
Military Career
Cons
My man could be gone for up to a year at a time away from me and his family.
It can be a dangerous job.
No stability- we won’t be able to purchase a house because you never know where you’ll be.
Uprooting our family when we have to.
Moving far from both our hometowns
**I also must mention that my man has a five year old daughter from a previous marriage. The little girl lives in TX with her mother. If we keep getting uprooted it may be hard for us to see her. Especially if we get re-located overseas**
WHAT DO WE DO????????
I would love to get both military and civilian feedback…especially military wives.

I am a SAHM and I would like to get a “flexible” job for when the kids go to school. Thankfully I have about 5 years until that happens. In the meantime, I am considering getting a MaEd in Elementary Education. I currently hold a BS in Accounting and I have 10+ years in Healthcare Computing. I am very bright and could probably find a part time job doing anything white collar, but I figured a teaching position would give me summers off / holidays with the kids.
Any advice is much appreciated.
P.S. I am considering the Univ of Pheonix Online MaEd.
