Any of you baws do that?
Still in the Army.
Married.
Two teenage kids.
I attend school full time online at Grand Canyon University. The online makes it nice because I don't have to commit to being in a brick and mortar building for certain hours on certain days of the week. It also helps to be able to bring a laptop to whatever practice the kids have and do schoolwork while they are practicing.

Only way I would consider it now. I guess degrees that are online are the same as brick and mortar degrees?

I'm also going back to school online with GCU. Since I live like 20-30 minutes from their actual physical campus (that has dorms and everything for students), I'll likely participate in a graduation. I'll be done in Feb so guess I would walk in the May ceremony.
I'm married and work full time. No kids, but was doing a few rounds of fertility treatments with meds that made me a crying mess at times so that was certainly a challenge with work and school. And recently trying to help my parents after the flood and deal with school and work stress showed me just how much I can bend but not break when life throws it's punches at me.
It is certainly more challenging to go back to school when you have so many other adult responsibilities. You have to learn to be really disciplined and schedule in when you will do your schoolwork. Having your SO and family be supportive and understanding also helps tremendously.

Slight digression. How do things like labs and group projects fit into full time online classes?
