pure shooter asked:

Will an employer give you a job for getting one of those cheesy online degrees such as from the University of Phoenix? Do those have tests are do you just write papers?

I know that there are many different programs, BUT I dont think that I can even get into the five year program right now because I have had bad grades, and right now I am kind of working on them!!
So, I was thinking of going to get a bachelor degree first, and then go on and get a masters in architecture?
So, what are some good degree options?

I have decided to pursue my Masters degree in Marketing online, due to time and money constraints. I know University of Phoenix is well-established re: its online education program. However, does it have any real credibility w/ recruiters and placement/HR offices?

It is definitely more economical and technologically advanced than the online programs of established colleges and universities.

But is it worth it? Are there any traditional colleges of which anyone is aware that offer good online programs at a reasonable cost? Thanks very much.

Melissa P asked:

I have recently applied to colleges for nursing, but i have thought about it and i don’t think nursing is for me so i switched to early childhood education and teachers make a lot less money than nurses. People have told me a masters degree will get me a higher salary. I am planning on teaching any grade from pre-k to 3rd. So i was wondering if anybody knew the average salry of a teacher with a bachlors degree vs. a teacher with a masters degree.

I have a Bachelors of science and it seems like my degree is taking me nowhere. I am wondering what people generally think about the following question:

Is a Masters degree more likely to land a person a job if they get a Masters?

Prty Blk asked:

I’m working full time (average about 48 hours a week) and i’m taking 9 hours (which is all i can take) at a traditional university at the moment. My job is a temporary and i’m trying to finish school to have a back up plan so taking only 9 hours a semester is going to take me about 3 years to finish, which may be too long. So anyways University of Phoenix and Devry would allow me to get a degree a lot faster but i’m not sure if many employers would hire me. By the way I want to obtain a degree in Finance or Information Technology. And pursue a career as a Real Estate Broker, Loan Originator/Officer, Financial Advisor, or Database Manager.

Scullytheparrot asked:

I am almost finished with my Bachelors degree in History. I would like to continue on and get my masters in History. I am interested in American Public University’s (APU) History program. But can I get a legitimate masters degree from a fully online institution, that when Im finished I would be able to get a job teaching at a community college? APU is fully accredited but Im leary because the only information about them I can find is on their website. It seems like nobody has heard of them. Any help would be appreciated!

I want to get a Master’s degree online, but I’m not sure if the University of Phoenix Online is a real college or if it is just a con. Does anyone know for sure? Would employers look down on me for having UOP on my resume?
