Not to be contrary, but hopefully enlightening, online education is not garbage. There are pretenders to be sure, but most reputable schools have an online presence as well. In some areas, online has been a very big part of how they educate (take the University of Wyoming, for instance, vary sparsely populated state which has caused them to push online as a way for their own state residents to get a great education without having to cross a mountain range to do it). I’m also a former jarhead who waited a while before pursuing my college education. It was a long haul but I finished up my MBA last spring (2010) and am now looking at online options for a doctorate (don’t want to uproot my family, so online is the way for me to go). It isn’t for everyone, but it is certainly not garbage.
