I can only do it online as I have to look for a job and when I find one I have to be flexible. I've searched and there are tons of schools out there. I've heard both sides of the University of Phoenix but I know 3 people that have nothing but good things to say about them. Don't know. Anyone here have, going thru, or know someone personally that has earned a online degree? Any advice would be great.

All I can tell you is that everyone i know that has that degree, doesn't have the great job to show for it. Having said that, my ex recently received his, made a point to have my son tell me that he finally graduated, and promptly got fired from his job. A degree from an on-line school just doesn't hold much weight IMO. Not only that, but it won't cover up stupid. In his case, it didn't cover up drinking on his lunch break...
