Here is a hack...
Go to local community college for under 10K to get an EE associate degree.
Get a full time job with that degree and then work on completing the next 2 years at some college.
Price tag will be 15 to 20K.
That’s my current option for getting an Electrical Engineering degree online. That’s excluding financial help, grants and etc.

You just need to be sure to take the required freshman classes that count towards the degree and will be accepted by your university.There is no EE associate degree. There's an Electrical engineer 'tech' degree. But no Electrical Engineer degree.

I mean this is the nicest way possible. It would be a mistake for "you" to go into debt for a degree. Based on your posts here, you would most likely accrue that much debt and not have a degree to show for it. You sound like someone who would be better off pursuing a trade.

Stop it. You have no clue.

what? nobody said stop at the associates degree, the credits from that program transfer over to a bachelors program.What engineering job are you getting with that? Entry level engineer roles require a bachelor's degree.
You have been conditioned to think every entry level EE job requires a 4 year degree. It seems to me that's your problem...stop projecting it on others.What engineering job are you getting with that? Entry level engineer roles require a bachelor's degree.
Yeah, most traditional Engineering jobs require an ABET-accredited complete degree. Either as a hard requirement or a soft one (won’t pass filter/bias).What engineering job are you getting with that? Entry level engineer roles require a bachelor's degree.
