Do you know anyone (or have you) who has graduated from an online college? Are online degrees taken seriously?

Asked by Blackberry (33949points) February 19th, 2010

I’m in the military, so I can’t go to a college campus, unless I want to deal with transferring credits as I move from station to station. I hear it’s a huge nightmare and I could end up doing work for nothing if credits don’t transfer.

I know a lot of parents and military etc. do college online, but I’ve also read that some online degrees aren’t as valuable as campus degrees, and that totally makes sense, but I don’t really have a choice I guess. Are there online colleges that have better reputations than others? Do you have any stories from people that have already graduated from an online college?

I keep reading things from people that haven’t graduated yet, but I want to hear from people that have graduated and how their job outlook is (I’m aware of the economy lol). Thank you.
