In desperate need of some advice.

Hello again everyone. I'm really looking for some advice here. I'm doing the schooling to get my agent's license online through VanEd and am starting to get a bit overwhelmed. I've made it through a significant part of the course work (about half) and am at the point where I start filling out closing docs and stuff like that and I honestly don't feel like I've learned very much. Distance learning is definitely not my thing but I don't really have a choice unless I want to wait until July time frame to do traditional classroom schooling. I'm at a crossroads here: get through the online school and eventually pass the exams and risk having no clue what I'm doing when I get my license, or get a refund, wait until late summer, spend more money, do the course, and hopefully have the confidence to feel like I know what I'm doing. Any advice helps and thanks in advance.

When did we actually learn anything in school which is helpful in real life? I have and engineering and Masters degree in Computer Science and still I think I learned way more on the job in first year then all my years in school. Schools provide you theoretical education and internship/job is where you can apply some of what you learned at school. By the way, I never learned anything about Finance or Sales but I guess I can easily beat anyone with MBA in Finance or Sales who just got out of school.😀
