Besides, the people who are reading resumes can smell bs from a mile away.

I've heard them referred to as AA and ALB. I'm not completely sure what they stand for, though.

It would take some serious cojones to try to pass one of those degrees off as a Harvard degree, but I wouldn't be surprised if people tried it.

My mom is doing her second MA completely via the net. It's not a walk in the park for her, she still has to do the work.

Quite a few of my courses for my MA were done online. It took me awhile to get used to and get disciplined to doing them, but now I love it. Mainly because I got to do the work at my pace (as long as I got it done by the due date). If I couldn't go online until 10pm, that was fine. You can't do that with a regular class.

I personally love that more schools are doing online courses. Unfortunately a lot are really expensive. Online courses are easier for the working adults. I won't get that when I go for my PhD, but I wish I would.
