How do they what?
Yes, if someone had poor study habits in high school, an online degree is going to be just as hard, if not harder than highschool or another non-virtual college. You have to have good habits, work hard, and be very self-sufficient and self-motivated to get an online degree. Not sure that answers your question though, because I can't understand what exactly you're asking. Normally questions aren't a declarative statement.

First: Learn how to write a complete sentence. A better sentence would be: What are the misconceptions of joe student who believes he can work full time and puruse his online degree without modifying the study habits he used in high school?

Well, a misconception would be that can't do it. You can do practically anything you put your mind too. A lot of people get their degree online while working full time. I have worked full time and gone to school full time before, and I was a crappy student in high school. It all depends on how motivated you are to succeed.
Another misconception I guess would be that a person who had poor study habits in high school won't do well in online classes because they lack the motivation to get the work done. Again, if you are motivated and you want to succeed, you will succeed. A great motivation method for making yourself complete your online classes is that if you fail your classes online, you just wasted a whole lot of money.
If you have problems completing your work online, find someone who can push you and get you motivated when you are feeling lazy. Wife, girlfriend, boyfriend, best friend, parents...Anyone who you trust that will give you what you need to get you off your lazy ***.
Trust me, just because you didn't do well in high school doesn't mean that you can't do well in college. Don't believe that. I know a lot of teachers love to say, " Oh in college your professors are going to be so hard..." blah blah blah, whatever. Don't believe the crap that your teachers or whoever has fed you about it. I did terribly in high school, but in college I am now an honor student. You just have to have the confidence you know that you can succeed. If you want something, you will do whatever it takes to obtain that something. A full time job won't hold you back, I promise.

I am not sure what your question is, but if you are asking, can some work full time and take college courses on-line, then yes. It is never easy to do both, but nothing worthwhile is easy and many people do both. My husband went to school full time and worked a "part-time" night job that usually required him to work more than 40 hours a week. I went to school full time and worked several part-time jobs that averaged anywhere from 20 to 50 hours a week. My son took on-line courses during the summer while also working part-time.

As far as the "not modifying the study habits he used in high school" portion of the question, I suppose it depends on what those study habits were. If he had good study habits in high school, then I don't see a problem. If he did not study in high school, I doubt that he can succeed in college that way. On-line courses are tough in the sense that you have to be self-motivating. When I took night classes for graduate school, I always tried to buddy up with a classmate, and we could keep each other motivated to succeed, but that option is not open for on-line courses unless you and a friend sign up together or unless the school will provide a roster of students taking the class on-line.
