Thinking of getting a degree online

My partner Lara is studying her masters and almost everyone I know has some university qualifications, except me. So I am seriously considering getting an online degree. I have been looking at the this because it would still allow me to travel like I currently do and work at my own pace.

I could also get a degree from the USA or UK which is where I would like to study if I was going to uni. This is one of the main advantages of online universities.

One of the places that I could look at getting an online degree from is Western Governors Online University. They have a very nice looking website and offer course in many areas from Teacher training to business training at bachelor's and master's degree levels.

The idea of being a teacher is interesting to me and WGO are fully accredited getting teaching qualifications from them is just as valid as getting the qualifications from any other university.

They also take experience into consideration when giving you credits and are non-profit which means that you should find lower tuition fees.

I can only see benefits with getting an online education. The only small negative I can find is the lack of class mates face to face interaction but that could be good too as it keeps you away from the student bars!
