My wife got her business degree online, and I'm sorry to report that none of those advantages were present as a rule.
DragonEyes:
Interesting. I did my undergraduate all online. That was my experience. Where it was lacking was in actually teaching me anything. But, it might have to do with the school and its online climate. Might be something to research if you go back for another degree.

Also, I remember when your post count was not much more than mine! They grow up so fast these days.....

But college is fun! A torturous amount of work (hello, 3-hour problem sets in Physics, Math, and Chemistry due tomorrow...), but if you choose interesting classes and find fun people to hang out/work with, homework parties become tolerable and sometimes even enjoyable.
Warden John Marcone:
Tried college, got sick of it and dropped out. Couldn't find a job, tried going back to college. Got sick of it again, dropped out again, found a job as a floor man at Quad Graphics. Now I need to go back to college again before I can get off the floor.
HOWEVER! I'll be changing my major from Liberal Studies (which bored me in hindsight) to Editing, and as long as I maintain a 3.0 QG will pay my tuition and books. So that happens when I get a full time promotion.
