Did you major in Communication/Technical Writing? Have anyone attended Kaplan On line University?
I have a two year degree in Early Childhood Education. I am now 47 years old and want to age gracefully doing something different with an option of various doors. I am looking for an online school with this program of study in a BA. Kaplan Online University seen to be a good choice. What are some of the pros and cons to this major/minor? May I hear your comments on either or both of my questions? Thanks.

Don’t go to one of those for-profit online universities. See if your local state university offers the same degree program online. They almost certainly will, and it will be cheaper and better respected. If not, find a state university in another state.
As for communications/technical writing – technical writing mostly is likely to consist of writing manuals for consumer electronics products and the like. It is one of the stabler, better paid types of writing jobs you can get, but it might not be so interesting. Communications degrees are very common, and not terribly well respected, and are rarely useful, except for jobs where you just need a bachelor’s degree of some sort.
