My husband is currently taking classes to get an Associates degree on line. His is a techy type degree that has to do with networking and computer stuff and a lot of it is stuff he's been doing for years (both when he was in the Air Force and since he's gotten out). He discovered after he was laid off the last time that a lot of companies didn't care about his experience and only wanted to see a degree of some sort. So he started taking the classes. Good thing he is doing it on line since we had to move across state after he started due to where he was able to find a new job. But I really have no idea how HR dept look at online degrees vs classroom degrees. I know the masters I would consider getting I can't get on line anyway.
