You’ve heard it before. You see it everywhere. “If you don’t have a degree, don’t apply for this job.” It doesn’t matter if you have twelve years experience in the field, if you don’t have a degree, its nigh impossible to find gainful employment.
With today’s economy, its an employer’s market. They can afford to be choosy because 9% of the population is out of work. So if you don’t meet their specific criteria, they’ll choose someone else. So what do you do? You know you should go back to school, but there are so many things holding you back, mostly time and money. You know that there are online options available, but which ones are the real schools bringing you a solid education and an accredited degree, and which are the ones to avoid?
