Online Degree vs Online Cert's?

Hey people!
Question for you all:

What do you think of online Degrees from Accredited
Universities? I'm not talking about Degree mills here,
from real colleges?

I know you can "buy" a degree as well as buy a Cert.

Ive been posting on various message boards looking for any
feedback and thoughts about on-line degrees, would
appreciate your thoughts positive or negative.

As long as it involves studying and the final result is knowing the subject.
Where you study is irrelevant.
Some, however may find it useful to be in a classroom setting with a trainer
to ask questions and be able to focus better.

untrue - my better half did her Masters via the new online method at her
university. she loved it. no driving. no parking. no group assignemnt
meetings. it was all online. and still achieved it's goal.

I totally agree! I have taught myself many things just
using books and on-line reference material so, I'm well
acquainted with not being in a classroom setting to learn
what I want.

Good for her Rowdy-

I'm also working toward my degree, and my school offers online versions for
some of the courses. Whnever that option is available, I take it. Commuting
to class a couple evenings a week- not something I like doing.

Also, as long as the schools reputable/certified, it doesn;t make a
difference if the degree was online or in class. The more appropriate
question is this- Is it better to have a degree or a cert. Depends on what
you want it for. But in general, a 4 year degree is going to be worth a hell
of a lot more than a 7 test certification which people can get from a boot
camp in 2 weeks.

IMHO

Exactly!! Just like most here, getting the training books,
sitting down at the Comp and work through them, take a
test, not much different really, Except with on-line
learning you get to interact via live chats and
discussions with your fellow students.

The question is, Are employers accepting this medium as a
viable Degree as oppsossed to a "brick and mortar" college?

I have my MCSE certifications and an Associates degree with a different
major. I make more money than some, but not all of my fellow co-workers who
have a B.A. degree. I also don't have the 30,000 dollars in debt. And
then there are the co-workers and bosses here that have only a High School
degree and make more money than us all.

It's the Executive Decision Model- if theres someone you don't like and you
can't fire them (they're in a union, say), yet you don't want to work with
them- Promote them!

<rant>I hate my job. Politics suck. And I really hate that 30% of the
employees in my IT dept, mostly the management, were hired cause they were
friends of someone. The job description requires a BA in Info Tech, 7 years
experience, etc. And yet, our call center manager is a former bra salesman.
Seriously. </rant>

If everyone in the world sent me just 1 penny, I'd be, like, a millionaire
or something.
