The things I have done to prepare my online degree is that I have made sure that I will have access to a computer that has internet. I discipline myself to do my homework assignments first and then arrange any other important events in my life around them. I have prepared my finances by working just weekends and I call during the week to work extra hours. This helps me to support myself and family while still pursing my degree. I have prepared my family and friends by communicating, we communicate well and support each other in goals we are trying to achieve.
