Hi all,
Being a generally saavy and erudite bunch, I thought I'd get some opinions on online degrees. I'm thinking of going back to school but there aren't any colleges near me and I work oddball hours.
I've thought of doing the whole online thing but I'm wondering what employers think of degrees earned online. I'd hate to get an online degree just to discover it isn't worth the money or effort I put into it.
If it isn't worth it then I would consider moving to place with an old-fashioned brick-and-mortar school and get a different job. I've kept my head down since 2001, just happy I had a job, but now that the economy is getting better, I'm willing to take some risks. I'm not married and don't have kids so there isn't anything keeping me here short of the proximity to my parents and other family.
I have no idea what to think of online degrees so any help is appreciated.
Thanks!
