I mean someone who has obtained a better job by virtue of attaining a degree of this type, or someone who has had a bad experience in a job search because of obtaining this type of degree.
I don't need to hear that going to a top 15 business school is the way to go. I know that. If I could go to Harvard then I would, but I can't. Just looking to enhance my skills some and put myself into a better position for some upper level jobs at my current employer as well as other employers. For that reason I'm wondering if going for an online MBA is worth my time, or would the amount of job experience I gained at the same time be just as valuable, if not more so, along with just obtaining some professional designations/certificates?
Online MBA - Does anyone have any real world experience with how these degrees are viewed by employers?
We're one of the largest employers in the state and we accept regionally accredited degrees, regardless of delivery format.
If you want an online MBA with more name recognition, look at Penn States or U Illinois just announced they were kicking off their online program.
Reply:Real work experience and finding a "ladder" or a boss who really likes you is much more valuable than getting an online MBA. Networking and knowing the right people are more valuable than any degree or certification.
We screen these people out on a regular basis.
