Most definitely go to college. Online courses are for the most part cheaper, faster, and easier, but there are a lot of things they don't offer. College is a chance to check out areas you may or may not be interested in, to make friends and connections with other students, and with people working in the fields you are interested in. It also looks much better on resumes and grant/loan applications, and it's just plain fun!

First sit down and ask yourself what career would you be interested in... you have to do something that you like...It has to be something that will keep you motivated and hopefully pay well...
Then I would find a school maybe a trade school or as you said a school that offers online classes. Ask if you need to test to see where you skills are...You might have to take some lower level courses before getting into the hard stuff...
Then I would speak with a counselor or student aid person and see what would work for you....Also fill out a fasfa...so you can get loans, or student aid...and see if you are working if your job has tuition reimbursement....
Then after you have all of your classes scheduled and ready take a minute and get yourself ready.....Get a pattern on how you are going to study, also when you are taking classes devote some time to speaking to professors if issues arise....
That's a great way to start...

That is probably the case for most college students initially. College is a good time to explore your interests and find out what you want to do. The most common major at most colleges is "undeclared" (this is probably less true at most online schools). Know that most schools require certain general education classes of all students - usually things like English composition and English literature, history, a basic science course or two, etc. You can start with those, get yourself an advisor, and have that person help you make choices about the next set of things to study.

Search online for the college you prefer to attend. Check out the requirements for enrollment then speak with admissions. You fill out an intent for attendance with a fee and they require your high school transcript. Again, check to see what the process entails along with application deadlines.
Good luck getting into a college.

If I were you, I'd start with my general education requirements and go from there. Chances are, you'll get a better idea once you start taking college courses. Maybe you'll find that you love history or psychology. Go with what you are best at and what you enjoy the most. :) good luck!

Try www.fafsa.ed.gov. College is a smart decision & I highly recommend it.

First of all, decide what you wanna do. It won't help to start something if that's not what you wanna do. You'll only waste time, energy and money!
