Online Degrees Don't Impede Job Searches

I couldn't help but notice these examples are people that are mostly people already in a field with experience. What about those that are not? I went to college online for my bachelor's and master's at traditional universities but because these colleges are not recognizable in my area. I didn't choose online learning because of my schedule since many colleges offer night classes.

Affordability is a problem in my area though. I can tell you some employers don't want to hire those with online degrees. Some just don't want to hire older candidates that attend online, which can be based on discrimination. I wouldn't go and apply a few examples to everyone. Many get online degrees they can't use since their is a preference to certain college environments. If you already have experience in a field and just need the piece of paper that may work. If you don't, you may have some problems breaking into a field. I am one of those that is consistently skipped over for those with a traditional degrees from more prestigious colleges. If I already had experience in the field and just needed a piece of paper, I wouldn't have an issue either.
