Earning a college degree is a wise choice, but it should also be a valuable one. Of course the college you choose should be accredited, and what you spend for your education should balance with the increased income your degree can bring. But your degree should also be respected. See what Bill Gates, Forbes, the National Council on Teacher Quality, and others have to say about WGU.
