There is no reason to feel bad and you can still make up for the lost time and take up a bachelors degree from an online college. This can put you back on track and in line with others.

Whatever the reasons were that you to dropped out of college is irrelevant. What is important is that having a degree will help you better your career prospects. If you wish to grow in your career path, you would need to be promoted or take up other job roles, which will demand different skill sets and qualifications. Most of the jobs call for graduation and degrees as a basic qualification. In the present condition you cannot afford to leave your current job and take up studies again. So the best option would be to enroll in an online course so you continue to work and complete your degree at your own pace.

Whenever somebody hears of online schooling, the first reaction naturally is disbelief. Many people have heard of distance education, but not online education. This is true that most of the prestigious universities are now able to offer bachelor degrees online which is open to all, disregarding your location and age.

The next question to ask is, How genuine are these degrees?". Let us assure you, an online college that offers flexible schooling is as good as the normal degree that you would get from the university by attending day college. Come to think of it, why would the degree be different? If you analyze carefully, you will find that everything is the same except that the admission criteria and delivery mechanism are different from that of day college classes.

Let us also caution you on one aspect that you should watch out for. As we mentioned, online bachelor degree courses are the same as day time college degree courses. They carry the same value in the industry. But this is valid only when you get the degree from a university or institute with a good reputation and one that has accreditations. This is something that you would have to check out and do your homework before you decide on which online college you would like to apply for.

Admissions to online schools or universities are different because unlike day college, online colleges admits anyone and everyone for a degree program as long as they have completed the prerequisite high school graduation. It does not matter when you completed your high school. You may be resuming studies after ten years, but the college accepts you even then.

Come to think of the location of your home or stay and the location of the university, which you are applying for. It really does not matter where both of you are located. You can be in the same city or in different parts of the world, online degrees can be applied for as long as you are able to have a good internet broad band connection and are able to access the university website online.
