Which language are you planning to do your degree in? Just curious, and the answer may help us all to give you advice.

You do need to learn a much better standard of written English if you're going to get anywhere with a degree level education in that language. Sorry, that is just how it is.

Regarding degrees, the best online degree providers - such as the Open University in Britain, or Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in the USA, are as good as most "normal" universities. However, there are things claiming to be online universities who are just taking your money to give you a worthless certificate - and the world knows who they are, and will treat your worthless certificate accordingly.

Genghis got it right, many on-line degrees are worthless; a proper degree course requires the student to participate in tutorials and discussions that expand the mind and develop his or her intellectual capacity. The best "distance learning" courses provide that in one way or another. The worst simply charge you a large sum for a certificate, in effect.

If you want to be an aircraft maintenance engineer, which of course you may not, you do not need a degree, you need a licence. This calls for knowledge, and practical work experience over a number of years.

If you are looking for an easy option, you are wasting your time.

But first of all, you should realise that your post read as though it was written by a ditsy teenager texting a friend. If you really believe that this is the way to write for adults, you need to do a course in remedial English before you do anything else. If, on the other hand, you do know how to write, why insult people's intelligence with c**p like that?
