<p>Virtually everyone I have met who has a partial college degree has tried to complete using some variation of online/correspondence courses. It is a tough path- I applaud the people who can do this- but the coursework gets progressively tougher the further along you go (duh!) and so the lack of face to face contact with professors, the support of a study group/peer group, etc. becomes more critical the closer to completion you get.</p>
