I agree with Tom. Learning is always good. If you live close to a state park or national park, this type of degree might come in handy. We have two state parks here in the Myrtle Beach area, and they frequently look for extra employees, especially during the busy summer months. They hire for positions in their nature center, park guides, info booth operators, etc. Seems like a great environment to work in.I'm thinking about getting a degree online like a wildlife degree because I live far away from most universities.
So here's one thing that was on pennfoster
Is this a hit or miss? And what is it lol

Unless theres a specific job that requires a specific degree or you need a degree for further advancement in job you already have, I think online degrees are very limited in their benefit because the biggest benefit of college is networking.
It also appears to be a 'certificate program' vs an actual degree, so its much less valuable than a 'real' degree, even an associates. If you just want to learn, there are plenty of free courses online. Most are tech heavy but http://mooc.org/ is a start and has some non techy courses.
Other than that, I think an entry level job or even volunteering would be a better way to get your foot in the door than an online program like this.
