I've been putting off going to college for almost 4 years now basically because I was always broke. Then I realize, I will always be broke till I go to college hehe. I'm looking around at colleges and sadly there's not a lot of schools in California where you can get your RVT. I looked into online options as well. One semester at a college 30 miles away from me is going to cost me $750, not including books, all the other college fees, and of course gas from a car I can't possibly afford yet. One semester through a 100% online program will cost me $980, not including books and other fees but I wont have to worry about gas or changing my work availability.
A physical college will help me have more structure and get more "hands on" though driving 60 miles roundtrip a couple times a week isn't what I'm looking forward to in regards to time and money. I'll also have to wait till I could afford a car to get there. An online program will be more flexible with my lifestyle and hours but it'll be hard not to slack off and is more than a couple hundred dollars expensive.
Do you think it'll be better for me to go with an online program right away or wait to start at the on campus college?
