New member overwhelmed by the all infos...

I just realized that my country's degree equivalence policies are so strict that this online degree route seems impossible for me (they even look for if you visited in that country via passport)

Sorry for bothering you, seems like whole degreeforum journey ended before it started for me...

Are you saying that employers are checking that the degree was done in person, or is this a government requirement? I don't know anything about your country, but I always found that in computers, there were always smaller employers who were not so picky about whether you had a degree or where your degree came from.

I would not give up quite so easily. There are different approaches for different needs. Take the time to fill in the addendum as suggested. Include the details of the limitations you've found with online degrees in your country. There is always the possibility of a path you haven't considered. For example, you could start online, but visit the U.S. (or another country) to finish the final year, or to get a master's after having finished the bachelor's online. There are also lots of EU countries where school can be very cheap or free. Someone here may know a program that could work for you, if they have all of the relevant information.

P.S. Please include information about your previous education. It seems obvious that you already have a bachelor's degree. That can likely give you a big leg up on a second one.

P.P.S. You might want to give some thought to a computer career in the medical field. That might make your medical degree relevant enough that a non-degree certification in computers would be sufficient to enter the job market.
