Your Online Education Experience?
pspahn writes "I am currently enrolled at a very well-known online school. I was hesitant when I enrolled; now more than a year has gone by, and I am regretting my decision. The main problem is that I am not learning anything. I have several years' experience with Web design, yet I was not allowed to bypass Intro to Web Design 1. Similarly, there are other classes on my list that will teach me very little I don't already know, yet will cost me money all the same. Now, I do have a great desire to learn and to further myself academically, but I just don't see much value in continuing to take classes I could have aced in ninth grade. It is also difficult when fellow classmates clearly have very little intelligent input to offer and our online discussions are reminiscent of an AOL chat room. While it is possible simply to attend a local school in person, I would much prefer an online environment as it seems to be a more natural medium considering the content of my studies. I am interested specifically in Information Security programs. What online education programs have Slashdot readers been happy with and considered successful?"

I got my law degree through "IANAL but..." offered through Slashdot. Next week I'm going for my economics degree.

There is nothing particularly interesting about a 5-digit ui.
But I was always told that the length of your penis was inversely proportional to the length of your uid.
A four digit UI on the other hand, is a completely different story.

The fact that you took that at face value says a great deal...

Nah. Only 3 digits matter. Especially those below 510.

I guess you never got the memo.
First there's the BS degree - and we all know what BS means.
Then there's the MS degree - More of the Same.
Finally, there's the PhD - Piled Higher and Deeper.
Unfortunately, there's a lot of truth in that, same as everything else in life, there's going to be a sh*tload of crap to shovel, and you're either the shovel or the crap.
