Part of the issue is that online studying is just easier: you don’t have to commute, you don’t have to juggle your schedule with your regular job, you don’t have to work with and get along with other people in your class. If you want to watch the lecture at 2 in the afternoon or 6 in the morning or on Sunday night, you can do that. And with a $7000 degree, you don’t have to work even harder either before, during, or after you get your MBA to come up with the six-figure tuition at traditional schools. In other words, it’s just easier. Employers know this. If you show up with your $7000 degree, they know you were probably not as determined and probably didn’t have to make the sacrifices and accommodations and get as exhausted and still perform under pressure like the guy who has his MBA from Wharton or Georgetown or the University of Chicago. They will have an idea that the job candidate with the U of C degree clutched in his hot little hand will be able to perform when under physical, mental, and personal pressure.
No offense to anyone, but I did graduate work in a regular university and then took online courses recently, and despite the rigor of the material treated in the online courses, it was simply a whole lot easier since the need to be on campus was not present.
With due respect, what a bunch of bullshit. You would have us believe that the person who took the smart way, the efficient way, the way that avoids the orgies and the liberal indoctrination and the drinking and the drugs and the oppressive debt....is the one the employer would AVOID. HAH.
Maybe, if we’re talking about another job in govt or education. In the real world, totally different.
