Just wondering on people's perspectives here... I am currently employed full-time as a 911 dispatcher. I started out this cycle applying to a few part-time online programs that I would *theoretically* be able to retain my job for at least as long as it remains feasible for me with that workload. However, I eventually applied to in-person full-time programs as well. So my question is; if you were in my position and received offers from both, which direction would you lean? Or, more importantly, what factors would tend to influence your decision? I have received a few now but have not made up my mind.

Also, if you're curious about 911 dispatch, AMA. I love the job.
The asterisk there is that the plan revolves around keeping that job; if the academic needs of the program become too much to handle, I can't just go part-time. So I see a possible situation where I commit to a part-time online program, then end up having to leave my job anyway, when I could have attended an in-person school at a higher sticker price but substantially higher salary stats.
