Good that you have decided to pursue the subject that interests you. But then if you are are not looking to study anything that involves software or programming, I believe a
Computer networking degree would be ideal for you instead of a CS degree which is involved with software and programming. And don’t worry about the recognition of online degrees. Nowadays, potential employers acknowledge and respect online degree programs. In fact most employers concede that it takes a great deal of commitment and determination to succeed at an online degree. You just need to make sure that you are getting it from an accredited college.
