I’m looking to go back to school but i work 12 hour shifts and cant go in person so I’m considering an online ba or as. im sure this questions been asked a thousand times but is it really worth it and do you get a quality education? Please if you know give me reliable resource.

The question hasn't been asked a thousand times on here. Mainly because this is a POSTGRADUATE forum (as the name suggests strangely enough).

You do have various options, but as you say, the cost issue is what will determine the final decision. Many online schools will work with you for financial aid, if that is a consideration for you, or check with your job to see whether they have a tuition reimbursement plan.
