i've also wondered the same. my school only offers certain courses online - i signed up for a couple. one class was a breeze, the other i had to withdraw from and enroll in the actual class because it was so hard.
the online universities offer complete degrees online which is great but, i wonder what employers think about a potential employee with this kind of degree on their resume?

Go to a community college, get good grades, and transfer to a 4 year university your senior year.

If you didn't do too well in high school, use it as motivation to do better and make something of yourself.  It's a tough world out there, every little degree helps.

I used to go to a school called St Leo University it was an online program through University Alliance, they have other schools too.  It was a wonderful program, though very expensive and super compressed (six week sessions), but I loved it.  I have also taken classes online through community colleges and that is another option and a lot less stressful I'm sure, the one thing that you have to remember if you are going to take classes online or go to school online that is very important is disciplining yourself and making a time management routine and if that's not something that you are good at it might be a good idea just to take one online class for starters to see how you do with it.

 :) Well I do not know...if all these degrees on line are any good. There are some facts: you save time and money- no commuting, you do not have to put up with a boring lecture and lecturer and yes!...you can learn some subject matters- free, no tuition, including how to use computers and the internet.
