Choosing the Right College/online classes

Question
I'm 20 years old. I didn't go to college because i felt so burned out after high school but now I feel like i am ready to go. But with my hectic work schedule and gas prices I doubt I will be able to go to a campus to study. Not at least for a few years. Is it possible to earn a liberal arts degree online if i have never been to college? And if so what are some good accredited online colleges? Thanks!

Answer
There are so many online programs out there now that you will probably have many choices. You will find much better rates if you do an online program offered by one of your state schools. If you want to indicate what your home state is, I can probably steer you to some.
