not really sure, i think ppl would think "cool i dont have to go to college i can be lazy and stay at home all day and not do anyting"
it could go either way, it would probably be harder to actually to the work because there is not set routine and you are not 'made' to do things.
but of course that doesnt work for everyone.
hopefully i'll be doiing some MCP qualifications this year (Microsoft Certified Professional
), which will be done online, so i will let you know how i found it compaired to, school, college, university ):
