I am really interested in pursuing my education online–the flexible schedule would be really helpful. But I wonder if employers really view online degrees the same as traditional “hands-on” degrees.

      No they are not, they are often looked down upon by employers and other people. I would strongly advise against doing one of those online degrees. Trust me, go to a 4-year university … you will never regret your choice.
