Before I decided to go the community college route, I did look at going to kaplan for the easier schedule and the ability for me to still keep my day job. Looking at their graduates, it appears they struggle to find a job. Just do a search online and you will see that a kaplan degree doesn't mean too much. Community colleges have much better local connections to get a job. If you read this do yourself a favor and check all of the local community schools and even if it is more challenging to fit them into your work schedule it is worth it in the long run.
