Fired up! Ready to go!
I think online degrees have their merits. My best friend got her MBA through Franklin University, and I think about 1/2 of her classes were online. She went there rather than OSU because her employer would pay 100% of the cost. She really enjoyed it and is now the VP of a bank in Colorado. I also think they are great for mothers (or fathers) who are looking to get their degree but do not have time to attend physical classes. It just offers some flexibility. Also, what if someone does not live near a university or have a car? Again, flexibility. What if the schools nearby do not offer what you are looking for? Maybe U. of Phoenix does. I'm looking to take an XML course over the summer, and I would take it online if I found one that looked suitable.
I personally would not get an online degree, but I would definitely take classes online, and I would recommend it to anyone whose personal situtation (location, family life, financial situation, etc.) would jive better with online courses.
**Shameless plug**
Is anyone familiar with MIT's OpenCourseWare initiative? http://ocw.mit.edu
It's not an online degree, but the professors are posting their course materials for anyone to use for free. Pretty damn cool.
