do any of your local colleges/universities offer online courses?

myself, i would look for a program that is accredited.  it would really suck if you decided to transfer those online credits to a traditional college/university and they tell you that those courses aren't accredited.  that would blow dirty hairy ass.

1.

many community schools offer online courses...or at least mostly online courses where you only have to show up to the exams.

are you sure about that? all the community school's by my house offer really flexible schedules - whether it be once a week, or two times a week at the night time.  Check a few schools - or maybe even visit them to check your options. I doubt you'll be able to sign up still as most schools started the Spring semester this week, or will start next week.

How do online classes work? Do they just give you a
bunch of webpages to read? If so, that sounds dumb.
They tend to be eRooms where the instructor can place lectures and reading materials on.  They typically also have forums where people can talk and post questions and act as the class's discussion.  Most also have tests and homework online otherwise its usually done through emails.

Personally I love taking online courses for classes that I understand quickly like programming.  I can read everything whenever I want and I typically spend maybe an hour a week total on a class, much better than the 4-6 hours plus homework time of a traditional class.  Sucks though for more difficult classes since its harder to talk to people and get answers to questions.

It really depends on what stream you want to work in.  If you're interested in DB, go Oracle.  If it's networking, go Novell or MS Active Directory.  If it's desktop, go MS certs and A+.  I would also look at doing some sort of ITIL courses, basically because that's hot stuff right now.

Michigan has some kind of online co-operative program between most of the state's public schools for a lot of courses. Not sure about all the Universities, but most of the 2 year schools are on (or were a couple years ago). Maybe New Jersey has something similar.

The colleges right around me cant arrange to my schedule, because its so long and it changes all the time. Being a manager is overrated
