Furthering one's education

[Jeff The Riffer]

I've currently got an A.S. degree and have been planning for sometime to
get a bacholers (along with some useful certifications).

Now I'm faced with a quandry. I work full-time, as does my wife. We have a
2 year old girl who goes to daycare. So not only are my time resources
tight, so are the economic ones. I've researched and it looks like getting
into State will require enrolling as an undergrad, or even a "lifetime
learning" student. I'm not expecting to get a degree immediately but don't
look forward to the degree dragging out for 10 years or more.

So here's my question(s):

	o Anyone else been in this boat, or similar? What'd you do?
	o Are the degrees from on-line universities like Phoenix or
Strayer generally given the same weight as "real" degrees?
	o Would it be better to prioritize my time/money towards
certificates and professional training?
