Are they helpful or is better to get into a state college? What are your opinions? By helpful, I mean can I get a better paying job with these online degrees?

Is anyone here's who's a product of online education?

I have been taking online classes
and i did a lot of research before hand

It really depends on what you are trying to get a degree in

My sister has a degree, she earned online
in the medical field and she got a job right off with it.
btw shes not a doctor, itsn an admin position
 
The UK's Open University produces on-line graduates whose qualifications are equivalent to any BUT

- the courses are very expensive
- the amount of work, effort and time necessary is GREATER than that for a traditional university
- there are residential components (summer course) that are almost essential
 
It wouldn't hurt, but it wouldn't help.

I consider those on-line degrees the same as the degrees from "for profit" schools. They are scams to part people from their money; and they are quite good at it.

Log off and head down to your local community college.

After getting my master's online, it's totally my preferred way to learn. If you pick a school with a strong "brick and mortar" reputation, nobody is going to know or care that you took online classes. I didn't want to go to a school that specialized in online learning (there are a lot....you see the commercials all the time), so I picked a good state school and went. If you think about it, it's a lot less expensive overall; I paid in-state tuition despite living out of state, you save on gas and other incidental expenses, and you can work at your own pace. As far as getting a better job....I don't think online has any real benefit over going to "physical" classes, except in the sense that some employers will look more favorably on a well-known, established school than some random fly by night college.
 
The bottomline is this: Whomever hires is biased for her school, and your school is a handicap regardless of its stature. Its like regiment or class.

Only the BS places that specialize in online education are like that.... You can save a shit ton of money by going to a state school (or a private school) and nobody is going to know or care that you took your classes online. (Well....I wouldn't want a doctor who learned online, but...they don't offer those classes so much methinks.)

The two places I was accepted and did NOT attend in favor of a better school were Cal State and George Washington U.... I don't think those programs were scams....

I've been doing a Master's Degree on-line and have had no issues with the program or feel that my school is really "for profit". The faculty involved have all been very qualified and the curriculum matches programs for local colleges.

The young man asked my opinion, and I gave it to him. I hire people on occasion, and my opinion is that I wouldn't hire someone based on an on line degree. If your degree said "The George Washington University" and it was really from that school, that'd be different. If it said "Kaplan University" or "Phoenix University" I'd smile and ask if you could make coffee.

That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it!

I completely agree...isn't that what I said? Phoenix, Kaplan, Nova, etc. were the ones I consider to be crap.

Edit: And that was exactly my point as well - my diploma says "University of ______" and is the exact same piece of paper I'd have gotten if I'd warmed a desk there for a year and a half.

I think you should do some research. Some of those schools are like that yes, but not all of them.
 
Of course, if your degree said, "The Johns Hopkins University" you'd be hired on the spot. Such a diploma shows you to be a person of culture and extremely intelligent.

Hahaha! Or have enough money to pay for it.

You'd be better off finding out what their grade point average.
 
So JohnnySavage do you have a Master's Degree? Where did you go to college?

I have a friend who got an on-line MBA from University of Phoenix. She's currently a VP for an international pharm company. The degree might have helped her, but her experience is what landed the job.
