Some people get better jobs from a degree. Some people don't finish. Some people make more money. Some people wind up with more debt. Some people perceive a social benefit from a degree. Some people gain psychological satisfaction. Some people find intellectual fulfillment.

Others don't. Predictions are hard. Especially about the future.

For online degrees, Western Governor's University is a public university with relatively low tuition and a long track record of not-for-profit online college education. It was designed to solve the problem of educational access not increasing revenues.

Good luck.
