What do prospective employers really think of online degrees?
Question:
Or have you earned an online degree? If so, what has been your experience in finding good employment? If not, why have you opted not to earn an online degree?
Share your stories either way? Thanks.
Answer:
As an employer, if the degree were required for the job I would want to ensure it was earned through an accredited university. I can go on-line and purchase a PhD for a couple hundred dollars, but an honest education will come with an honest diploma.
I have friends that have both earned degree's on-line and teach courses on-line. It's really the way to go in my opinion for most course work.
Unless the candidate shared that his or her degree was received on-line, how would the employer know? Now if someone graduated from Stanford and the other graduated from ? well then there might be a difference in the quality of the interviewee, but again there is no guarantee.
