Has anybody completed their degree online and been able to get hired like nothing?

Well, I will be finishing up my two year degree at Strayer University here in the next month or so, and it is only in General Studies.\n\nI wouldn't recommend going to school for a bachelors degree online. I say this because In my experience you need the social atomosphere of people in the same field you are in, you also need a learning environment, and not your home office.\n\nAnother thing about online school is that I seem to blow off my work alot and end up having to do it at the last minute on the weekend. I work full time, and value my weekends, so I dont want to be stuck doing school work on the weekends, but I procrastinate and do it anyway.\n\nI would say on my journey for this little degree that I have though, my physical classes I've taken have been no different than my online classes. Most of them have been core classes and electives though, so it's really not a big deal. I would definately want to get my bachelors and above at a real school though.\n\nGood luck.

Where prestige is concerned, individuals may still look down on people with online degrees, but companies are starting realize that people with online degrees aren't that different from those with traditional degrees. I think where you got your degree doesn't matter, as long as you know what your stuff. I know lots of people that spent 4 years in college and came out knowing nothing.\n\nA lot of them aren't accredited. Basically anyone with a website can say they're running an online university. However, some of them are actually just as good or better than traditional universities. You just have to do your research and make sure the one you choose is accredited. Find out what agency gave them their accreditation, what other schools are accredited by agency, make sure the education officials in the state where their home office is based has actually heard about them. Basically, cover all your bases.\n\nThe one I keep hearing about and seeing around is the University of Phoenix, so you might want to check them out. Maybe by doing some research on them might give you info on other online universities. \n\nAlso, many traditional universities are starting to catch on and are offering online classes, so you might want to chech that out as well.

Usually, not very well. \n\nMost "online" schools don't have good reps. Consider your options carefully. \n\nThere are reputable, "brick and mortar" schools that offer degrees online. Their good reputation for their on-campus programs will flow over into their online program. \n\nSo to be quite blunt, an online OR an offline degree from U Phoenix, or Devry, or ITT, will only get you so far, because the reputations of these schools isn't the greatest. A degree of any sort from UMass Amherst, or U Nebraska Lincoln, or U Maryland, will likely be seen as more acceptable by more employers, and may, therefore, get you further. \n\nSome great universities that offer online degrees include:\n\nUniversity of Massachusetts at Amherst\nRensselaer Polytechnic Institute\nUniversity of Denver\nUniversity of Maryland\nDuke University\nDrexel\nCarnegie Mellon\nPenn State\nBall State\nU Nebraska - Lincoln\nBabson\nWorcester Polytechnic Institute\nUniversity of Illinois\n\nAnd there are others. But in general, when you're looking for a distance learning degree, try to find a program at a school that has a good reputation for their "brick and mortar" campus.

My friend received a bachelor degree online at WGU; check the link below. You can truly get a job; you also have to go to a local college to get certified after graduation. My friend went an extra year to be certified.\n\nGood Luck!!!

I myself haven't earned a degree online, but I've heard that Phoenix University (put that in a search box and you should be able to find it) is totally online.  I'm currently seriously thinking of going to my local ITT tech college.  Go to their website and find your nearest branch.  All you need to go there is a GED or highschool Diploma.  And financial aid unless you plan on writing them a check.

It definitely depends upon the field you're looking to get into and who is likely to be responsible for hiring you.  People in general tend to be wary of "get educated quick" schemes including online degrees because they are unproven and people in hiring positions tend to not understand how you could possibly accomplish the same level of education with these types of programs. \n\nRegardless of your decision, make sure whatever program you're in is accredited...some online programs are, and some aren't just as some local university programs also aren't.  This ensures to you as well as to your future employer that the education you got at least covers the fundamental things you need to know in order to be successful in your field.

I did not like my degree either so I use to send out "reverse" resumes - putting all the work experience and goal statements at the top and listing my education credentials at the bottom. That way the employers get an idea of who you are before they judge you just by your education.  I think it worked because I got the job.   Try consulting work or temp agencies to get the work experience in your desired field.  Employers are more willing to give you a shot on a short term basis.

Unless you are already a nurse, either an LPN or associate degreed RN - I believe you are out of luck as far as finding a reputable school who will allow you to complete your degree online.\n\nThere are online degrees for LPN's seeking an Associate Degree or a BSN/RN degree.  Also there are RN (Associate Degree) to BSN programs available online.  If you have no nursing degree whatsoever, I know of no program such as you describe.\n\nNOTE: PLEASE read carefully the details on these online programs.  The one listed below is for a Bachelor of Science in Business...it is not an actual Bachelor's degree in Nursing.

This question is really difficult to answer.  So much depends on what you want to do with your degree, your individual learning style, your ability to finance higher education, and your over-all committment to learning.\n\nMany public and private (both non-profit and for-profit) universities are moving courses, and sometimes even entire degree programs, into an online environment. Your whole educational process, from admissions through your terminal course work, is conducted via phone, fax, e-mail and the web. What a wonderful concept!\n\nBefore you rush off to enroll, however, stop a moment and consider whether or not virtual learning is right for you.\n*Is the class or program of study offered by an accredited university?\n*Does this university have a solid reputation in the field in which you will pursue your coursework or degree?\n*What sort of training do the instructors have?\n*How long will it take to complete a course or program of study?\n*Are all of the classes taught online or will you need to attend a real classroom some of the time?\n*Is the class taught in real-time (meaning you'd have to log on during specific hours/times/days), or is time management up to me?\n*How much will it cost me?\n*And, finally, is there any financial aid available to me?\n\nIf, after working through all of these questions, you find yourself fully satisfied with the answers, then the online course or degree program is probably a good match for you. If not, weekend or accelerated degree programs may be your answer. If all else fails, its time to sit down and rearrange your schedule and make time for the traditional graduate program.\n\nBest of luck to you!

It's not that difficult. I have a college diploma and transferred to a 4 yr. degree online studies with another school. They gave some credits towards the degree, and I was given a deadline to complete it. I completed it way ahead of schedule, as a matter of fact I broke the record for that school ! Now I am thinking of doing my MBA online with a more prestigious university. There are a lot of online colleges/universities, and you need to check out their accreditations and credentials first before signing up. But these days, a lot of real universities are putting their full degree online as well. \nThere are a lot of online information for your research that you don't even need any library at all. It also depends whether you are the type who prefer to be alone (leader type) in their studies and can get more done by yourself, or needs to be with a group of students as in interacting or socializing as with a peer group (follower type) to get anything done. \nIn the end to be successful, it all depends on your own motivation and aspiration to get yourself through, with or without a peer group. G'luck!

Come on unless you are home bound go to your nearest community college or any of the state schools near you. Not being able to participate in the classes and use the ingredients available to you would be costly at best and I can't imagine any restaurant accepting an "on-line" degree. If you just want the education try the food sites or possibly a home taught course, just so happens that is something I have been tossing around so if you are local. . .
