There was once a time that the concept of an online college education was something that employers might bulk at. However, with the current day of modern technology and nearly the entire world of business - both large and small - converting to internet-based everything, the idea of a college graduate coming from an online university no longer sounds so cheesy. In fact, more and more people are realizing that even the most prestigious universities with top notch expectations are offering an online college education as a viable alternative to having to go to a campus for every course in order to earn a degree. The internet has become an increasingly popular means of education, training and workplace not only because this is where thousands upon thousands of people are earning college degrees, but also because more and more businesses and even large companies are beginning to hire at-home workers to complete more than just tasks, but often full time jobs, right online. The concept of an online course or an online university degree is no longer a taboo subject that holds negative stigmas. More and more people are inquiring, applying and enrolling in online universities than ever in the past. If you are still not quite comfortable with the concept of taking courses at home, of course many colleges are still thriving with classrooms where people drive or take the bus into school and sit down in front of a teacher, among a classroom full of students, and learn the traditional way. However, a greater number of people are coming to prefer the option of getting out of bed and sitting at their own desk at home with their cup of coffee and still dressed in pajamas. Rather than having to be marked absent because you are sick or your car didn't start, your child is sick or you are stuck at home with a pile of snow at the end of your driveway, you can even just roll over, pick up the lap top, sign in and you are present in your classroom with your teacher.
