Want to change fields, but I also want to work full time. Need something preferably with tech that I could do in 2 years or so and make decent money

Look at Nicholls online. I did an associate's in petroleum services and another in safety technology in 2 yrs working full time. Landed a new job making nearly double what I was making.

Whatever field it is youre looking for, find the most prestigious online program you can. Online degrees still have a stigma attached to them. Youll need to counter that stigma by impressing future employers with the school.

The Southern Law degree would probably be your best bet. As a bonus, you get up close parking in any spot marked off in the southern blue paint...as long as you keep the diploma on your dash.

Unless it's something like Devry or University of Phoenix how would anybody know the difference? You get the same diploma anybody else gets.

And it's the 21st century. So many backwards ppl still occupy the business landscape.

Youre competing with people that have conventional degrees. You dont have to impress me though. You have to impress an employer enough to hire you over them

The only line of work that you can get away with a two year degree with a respectable income is computer science. You’d be better served to study for a couple of certificates and get started that way.

I guess it depends on the field. Some degrees just dont lend themselves to online study. Id be very skeptical of an online engineering degree.

Computer Programming at Everst College online. And it's accredited by the West Coast Commission for Nonaccredited Schools.

If you really bout your grind, if you really bout your paper, you can get your mother fricking bachelor degree in 3 months from Everst

Everst College will at least get you minimum wage

With a chegg subscription basically any of them is just copying and pasting from browser window to browser window

LSU now offers it's Bachelor of Science in Construction Management 100% online. It'll take long than 2 years but is worth the time and investment.

I think his point is it doesn't say "online degree" on the diploma. Unless you go to school notorious for online degrees, no one will ask or care.

Similar to what others have already said, make sure you choose a non-profit school. The degrees from for profit schools like Phoenix and Capella aren’t worth the paper they’re written on.

IT, something in networking. Western Governors University I've heard good things about. I know someone who got his degree through there and is doing well for himself

CU and CSU both offer an array of online degrees for working folks.
