Online Degrees for Desperate Housewives

The right online degree could enhance the lives of any of the fictional Desperate Housewives. More important, it can change real lives for the better -- and that's not fiction.

Could Susan Meyer Benefit from Earning an Online Psychology Degree?

Desperate housewife Susan Mayer just wants to be loved. Full of sympathy, an online psychology degree would allow her to understand her own irrational behavior, and that of those around her. An online psychology degree offers a stepping-stone to a myriad of careers such as counselling, teaching, marketing and advertising. An online psychology degree can enrich your life. For Susan, it could allow her to better understand compulsions and relationships -- and make wiser choices.

Would Edie Britt Have Time For An Online Real Estate Marketing Degree?

Not really a desperate housewife, Edie has a voracious appetite for husbands and gossip. In light of this, one might wonder how Edie Britt would fit in an online degree. However, she could take her career as a real estate agent to the next level with an online real estate marketing degree. Edie obviously relishes her hands-on real estate role, as it allows her to cruise the neighborhood.

For those homemakers who enjoy part-time time administrative jobs, online degrees can allow them to make the most of their day-to-day experience, with the promise of more senior -- and better-paid roles, when they have more time in the future. Online real estate marketing degrees combine two careers that continue to grow -- just like Edie's list of husbands.

If you are a fan of Desperate Housewives, you might have a suggestion for what ex-model Gabrielle Solis could do. Perhaps her talent for landing her husband in court would suggest online paralegal study.
