Will You Finish Your Online Degree?

Fifty percent of the people that start college never finish to obtain their degree.  If you are studying online, the statistics aren't much better.  There are many reasons for this startling statistics, and many may apply to you.  Watch out for the warning signs.

• The cost of college is inhibitive.  If you are just getting by as it is, the added stress of paying for college, may be overkill. 
• Your job requires long hours.  The last thing people are going to do is study, when they only get 4hrs of sleep.
• You or your spouse loses his or her job.  In this day and ago of corporate lay offs, keeping a steady job is an accomplishment. 
• You may feel as if college isn't going to improve your life after graduation.  Don't lose sight of your goal. 
• You question the quality of the education.

If you need to take a break from college, finish off the semester and continue when you are ready.  Do not just suddenly withdraw.  You will lose your entire tuition if you don't do it early in the semester.

Popular Distance Learning Programs:

 People that think they will have trouble finishing a bachelors program, should enroll in an associate or two year college program, and have the credits transferred upon graduation.  Getting an associate will significantly increase your pay over a life time compared to just a high school diploma. 

Remember the rule that if you quit something, its hard to get started again.
