Is it true that companys don't hire people with online degrees??

Many companies don't hire people with any kind of degree at all, haha. But seriously, the fact is, the more prestigious school you can get into, the easier it will be for you to get a job. Those ivy league guys have recruiters knocking down their doors to get to them. Go to the career sites for the big companies and find which schools they send recruiters too... and you'll definitely see mainly the most competitive schools listed. Now, you obviously won't be in this position if you get your degree online. I personally think when it comes to educating yourself you get what you put into it, so I applaud you for striving to better yourself, but just know that people who come from a more prestigious school will probably beat you to the jobs, unless you have more experience than them or something, but even then, a lot of the most lucrative entry level positions go straight to ivy leaguers. It's bull-shi-t but it's reality. The good news is (well for average people) employers are placing a much higher emphasis on experience than on the name attached to your degree. This doesn't really help though if you can't get an entry level job. If you want to know what I think, I think you're money is better spent at a regular college rather than online, because there still seems to be a certain stigma attached to online degrees even if they don't deserve it. Remember, if you plan on getting a good job, think about what the employer wants, even if you don't agree with their recruiting methods. Good luck to you.
