Book learning is great; it will further your career down the road, But as Melrose said, contact a contractor and get an entry level position if possible. I would hound them all the time. Eventually they’ll get tired of you and give you a job just to shut you up. It really help’s if you know someone at a site that will ask for you by name. I would call someone you know at a site with a upcoming outage and ask for a Jr. slot. It can’t hurt.

The degree would make it easier to get the job, it always does. in the long run it can mean more money.

Has anyone taken online courses to get their degree? Is this one a viable option? Does anyone know of a better one? Does anyone have additional info on any other online degrees? Any help would be appreciated....

I worked on my degree through the New York State Board of Regents (Excelsior College). I took classes offered where I worked, tele-courses through the local Community College, night school, had my previous work evaluated (NRRPT, Navy Nuc), correspondence classes from universities, CLEP tests, etc. Excelsior College tracked my credits as I earned them and awarded my degree when I met their requirements. There are many "non-traditional" paths to take. Use them all. The key is having an accredited educational institution track the classes and award the degree. This isn't an easy path, but it does get the job done if you persevere ("perseverance alone is omnipotent").
