How do I find a distance-based or online grad school?

I'm trying to find a grad school that allows me to work during the day and go to class in the evenings and weekends, or is some sort of distance learning and online where I do the coursework via the internet and when I need to, travel to a classroom. I've looked at a lot of grad schools and they all want you to be in class at 10 am or so. Personally, I am not going to do that because I need to work and a measly TA's pay of only 4,000 a semester isn't going to cut it. I also want to make sure it's accredited and will still seem legitimate to future employers. I want to ultimately get my master's and Ph.D. without needing to sacrifice work salary, marriage, or having a family. Does anyone have any ideas or websites I can start my search? thanks. I'd like to get my Ph.D in clinical psych.

1. The two that have the longest history are University of Phoenix, and Nova Southeastern University. You didn't state what your major is, so you will have to search their degree plans to see if they have what you are interested in.
2. There are many universities that offer evening, weekend, part-time or distance degrees. You have to be more specific regarding which degree you're seeking, but basically - you don't have to "settle" with universities such as the University of Pheonix (not that there's anything wrong with it, but there are better - more prestigious - universities offering online degrees or part time ones). Which subject would you like to take? You can, in any case, look here: http://homemadedegrees.blogspot.com/ ***** Added after your addition: Clinical psychology is not "just" another profession. If you are already a clinical psychologist and look for a PhD, this might be possible (see the links bellow), but if you will check with APA, I am pretty sure that you'll find out that you cannot become a clinical psychologist online (if you are British, use the RPA of course). Maybe there are part time courses.
