It's kind of amazing that the majority of the folks on this thread are in their forties. Are most people that are doing distance education beyond the "traditional" age for bachelor degrees? I'm 21, and am considering a masters. I originally had no such intention, but it is becoming more appealing as of late. I was going to immediately start my own business after graduating, but I'm not sure I want to do that just yet. So, in short, I'm considering.
