How does an online degree compare to attendance at a 4 year college? Do you take an online degree as seriously?

The is no difference in the diploma from the college. Plus you walk the stage, just like everyone else. My DIL over the last 10 years have taken her Bachelors to Doctorate on line and is a full tenure professor at the University of Texas.

During my career in the financial services industry, I have had thousands of employees. I hired and fired many and been responsible for others making those employment decisions. Some of the best employees did not have degrees and some of the worst did. The President and CEO of the bank, at the time I was hired, did not have a degree. Degrees are required for some professions but do not necessarily provide an indicator of intelligence, ambition, or abilities. Many times, I have been in the hiring decision position to find prospects having an attitude of entitlement because of their education. A degree is just one indicator of an applicant's qualifications. Brightness, humility, ambition, willingness to learn, work experience, and high regard for the company can easily overcome any perceived advantage of a degree for many professional jobs..... Jim
