Well I got another engineering question yet again.
So heres the deal. I'm working as a subcontractor right now and I love it and everything but I need a job with benefits and a decent salary. I wanted to do it online and the only school I found to do the civil engineering online is Penn Foster. However they only offer an Associates degree. I was leaning towards a Bachlors degree.
What do you guys thing about this course?
Heres the link to the course.
http://www.pennfostercollege.edu/civileng/index.html
I was talking to a girl from there and she said it would be around 50 bucks a month for about 18 months with a 30 dollar down paymentbut don't quote me. They also said they would offer help for getting a job in this field also. I looked on site like Monster and other job sites and employers are mainly looking for Bachlors degrees and other don't say but require 5+ years of employment in the field.
Should I give it a try? I can always go to college later on for hte Bachlors degree also but I rather do it online now and make money at the same time.
One last question I really couldn't get a answer out of anyone so maybe you guys can help. Someone said if I get an 60 credits for an Associates degree and transfer them to Penn Foster to take the Civil Engineering courses I would graduate with a Bachelors degree.
Now if that would be true I was considering going to Phoenix University and taking math, science and other classes to help me out on the Engineering courses.
Is that true or you can't really do that.
Thanks for the responses.
