Well, if you are looking for a quick way into an at-home job I would say go for it. I got my AAS degree in 2 years at the community college in my home town. However, experience is what makes the job less frustrating and allows you to produce more and make more money. If you are only thinking short-term and understand the pay is not so great these days (although if you work from home no gas or milage on your vehicle, and no dry-cleaning bill) knowing that this probably isn't going to be a forever job---then I say go for it.
