Answer:
An old fashioned university education will always go to the top of the pile. If you can manage to get a degree from a real, ACCREDITED on line university, then you can stay in the pile.

Part of the problem is that in the sixties the general U.S. population was led to believe that a college degree could increase life long earning power, and at that time it was generally true. These sixties grads are now parents and grandparents, demanding degrees from their off-spring.
