Hi Guys,
For a long time I have been wishing to complete a bachelors degree in engineering, but at this point in my life it has just not been practical, what with my full time job and owning a home and the fact that there is no 4 year college around here offering the courses i need at night or on weekends. I have however found an on-line university that offers a BSME program. My question is, Is an online degree worth anything in the eyes of a prospective employer? I dont want to invest my time and money in this only to find out nobody will recognize it. I'm not trying to find an easy way to a degree, I just can't quit my job and go to school full time at age 39. Any opinions or experience with matters such as this would be appreciated!
