My current job offers extremely generous tuition reimbursement for graduate students and I'd really like to take advantage of it. Now, I don't have the time to physically go to class while I'm working 50-60 hours a week, and I don't live near a decent university in any case, so I figure the online route is my best option.
I work in the financial services industry, but online MBAs are widely seen as a joke so I wouldn't want to take that route. With that being the case I'm not really sure what I should study to make the most of this. Any ideas?
>50-60 hours a week
studying on top of that? sounds harsh. workin 30 alone would kill me

Why not just do a weekend MBA? I know the college near me offers that option. Takes like 3 years, but once class a semester over three years isn't that terrible.

I work on average 50 hours a week and am in a graduate program. Last semester I took 12 credit hours and this semester I have 11 credit hours. I didn't think it could be done either but you will find you are able to adapt rather easily. It sounds cliche but when people ask me how I do that I tell them it is almost like the Nike slogan "just do it". If you literally "just do it" you will figure it out. Don't make excuses.

Depends what your job is. Engineering or science aren't bad, if you are in a field that doesn't need lab work.

Move
The world is actually pretty small - why not try to find a location that suits your lifestyle rather than just sit in your own feaces?

Because then I lose the generous tuition reimbursement and can thus no longer attend grad school.
