How has your online bachelors degree helped you in your career?
Has anyone had any push back from having an online bachelors degree? I'm in my early 50's and want to get an online bachelors degree in education and eventually a masters degree. I only need 60 units. I already have an associate's degree in early childhood education.

That’s an inspiring goal—and you're not alone! Many people in their 40s and 50s are going back to school online and finding it rewarding both personally and professionally.
For most, an online bachelor's degree has opened doors—whether for career advancement, meeting job requirements, or transitioning into new roles like teaching or administration. If the degree is from an accredited, well-regarded university, employers typically care more about what you bring to the table than whether you studied online.
Some people have encountered occasional skepticism, but that's becoming less common, especially post-pandemic. What's most important is how you use the degree—your experience, passion, and skills matter most in fields like education. Keep going—you’re already well on your way!

Thank you so much for your perspective. I feel encouraged. My goal is about meeting job requirements, developmental growth, and advancing in my chosen field.
