When I was a kid, going to college meant 4 years living in dorms. These days there are a myriad of ways to get a degree without having to dedicate most of your waking hours to it for four years at a time. While trying to explain this to Z I came across capella university. It’s an accredited university that offers 100% online classes and grants Bachelor’s degrees in business, information technology, and public safety. They also offer post-graduate degrees in business, information technology, education, human services, public health, public safety, and psychology. All of this without having to set foot in a classroom, much less set aside four more years of your life for formal schooling instead of starting a career or family.
This all came up because even in sixth grade Z is already feeling pressure to attend college after high school. While I believe having the choice to go to an excellent university is of vital importance I also believe that making a decision to not go to college because of the time and expense of a traditional university is a valid decision. When cornered by the fact that I was unable to achieve certain things in my life because I didn’t have the proper paperwork (aka a degree) I turned to online colleges as a modern alternative.
