You have to do some math: figure if you should move closer. If you can't, I think it is still worth it. I believe the online schools do not have the prestige as real campuses and lots of employers demand a minimum of a four year degree.
It is especially worth it if your degree will be in something specific like teaching, nursing, or accounting. Majoring in general business or psych don't seem as valuable these days unless you plan to go for a Masters. If you're living at home with parents and don't have to work, you're in an excellent position.
Best of success to you.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
