I see nothing wrong with taking courses (all if possible) through online means, as long as it's a creditible university or college.

Y'all make excellent points, but I took exception to the blanket disregard for an online degree. There are quite a few highly respected/credentialled schools who have entire online programs with minimal physical contact. And, yes, there are degree mills, as well.
I just think that if someone is honestly trying to improve their lot through education, why the disdain?
