Going back to school!!!, How hard is it? Options

[Slick]

Well, after constant pressure from my fiancé, i'm starting college classes again, online. I know its going to be difficult because i have way too many distractions. I mean, i'm not really old, but I'm not a young kid either. I'm already over halfway through my career, but finishing my degree would make things easier for me career wise.

Anyone else been in this situation? Has anyone else felt helpless and lost? Any tips on getting through this as quickly and as painlessly as possible? I don't even know which course to start with!!

it really depends on how hard the classes are. At my university the classes are real difficult and trying hard ussually gets me a B grade. At my local junior college, not trying or even showing up to class gets be A-.

You just have to look at yourself, remember how hard school was for you back when you where young. Did you struggle on anything?

I just recomend you call up or talk to someone to find out what it takes to get your degree. Taking random classes that don't help you move towards your goal hurts your motivation. And Motivation is one of the most important thing in school. Once you figured out how many classes you need, you can get an idea of what your getting yourself into.

Since your taking online classes most of the learning will happen on your own time. Can you imagine yourself taking out a book and really reading it and doing the home work? When i say doing, i mean really work on them and get the right answers.
