I'm not sure if this should go in life support or dollar den but I decided to post in dollar den because having a career is ultimately about making a living.
A bit of back story: I'm 27 and have been in the adult industry all of my 20s. I can see 30 on the horizon and I've decided that I need to stop being a fuck up and actually do something with my life. I have a prostitution conviction that has been expunged and normal college has not exactly worked out for me. As in I have failed 3 semesters because I stop going to class when I get depressed and forget to drop. The prostitution conviction makes going into healthcare a little bit iffy even though it's been expunged. After careful consideration of things I can see myself doing everyday for the next 40 or so years and weighing my options I have decided that I would like a career in Web Development.
I love to travel almost compulsively so I've been thinking about online school. I found this program:
http://www.fullsail.edu/degrees/web-...ment-bachelors
but I'm a bit concerned. Will getting a degree online combined with my less than stellar GPA and employment history leave me completely unemployable? Also the total tuition for graduation is aprox $80,000!!!!!!!!!I am glamoured by their success stories page but I'm sure all those people have succeeded because they had the right connections, not because of their education.
I am on academic probation so I can't exactly get into a normal school right now and my other option is Tulane School of Continuing Studies (I live in NOLA).

I can graduate for aprox $40,000. But will graduating from a "School of Continuing Studies" leave me any more employable than an online degree? And the decreased flexibility could mean decreased earnings while in school. Also the online program is only 5 semesters.
So I would really love some advice. Is going to school for a career in this even practical? And what do you think my best course of action is?
