For most adults taking online classes, the question has always been asked; Is it really worth the time and money invested? Depending on the individual responding, the answer could be either a yes or a no. But over he years, the number of students enrolling in this method of attaining a degree has been on the increase regardless of what people may be thinking of it.
For a working adult who aspire to move up in an organization he or she works for , an online education is a great option towards getting a degree that will make that possible. The other option of abandoning their careers to pursue a college degree has always made many decide against furthering their education. And for a mom or dad the idea of raising a family and going back to college is often hard. There is the problem of rigid college schedule to juggle with the family. And of course there is the problem of availability of degree program of interest for someone who may have just relocated to a different town or state.
Online education has made it possible for the average adult to still get a quality education without interrupting their lives. The level of materials being taught are very comparable to standard 4-year colleges. Tuitions and fees are about same. Employers who used to look down on degrees from online colleges are now even paying for employees to get such degrees. So obviously online education is a good option to a traditional 4-year college.

I completely agree that online education is a good alternative to a traditional 4-year college. I personally had a child very young and was afraid I would never be able to achieve all of my educational and career goals as a result of working 40 hours a week and being a mother, but here I am age 20 working on my bachelor's degree online. If it had not been for online school I would not be here. Do you think online school is inspiring more to continue their education?
