The only thing I would say is to do it before kids. ( Not sure if you already have kids ) With kids the whole equation ( and attitude ) changes. At that point even if it is financially viable, it may not be feasible. Before ‘the brigade’ pounces on me, I give the same advice to guys too.

I don’t have kids yet but planning for them, I work from home so I am thinking that shouldn’t be a big problem. I can study after my husband comes home.

It does since these days going to school is more about networking. The online vs onsite also depends on employers.

My minor in MIS is Information Security. Its one of the big buzz words these days…

I work in the IS field so for me the choice is due to the career demands. Our local state university does offer degrees in which you have to attend some courses at the campus and rest online but they don’t offer the majors I am looking for.

I would be opting for online degrees as I just need a degree to jump to the next level as my experience should be more then enough for potential employers. For networking I work directly with most of the clients which include major financial firms along with regularly attending conferences and training’s so that should suffice. With online I also have the choice on how slow or fast I want to go through it.
