You may have answered this type of quesion before, but a few keyword searches came up with nothing. If there are any threads elsewhere, please feel free to refer me to them.
In order to expand my knowledge and open up more career choices, I would like to (finally) get my 2 year degree. As I live in the boonies (no decent college within 100 miles, I have been debating on-line courses. Currently, I hold a wonderful IT position, and therefore would not like to relocate in order to pursue school! I am extrememly afraid, however, that this will actually hurt my chances of getting hired somewhere (as opposed to aquiring my degree elsewhere)....
Do you find that WHERE a degree is aquired plays a factor in "judging" a resume? I mean, if you read "BS in Computer Technology from University of Phoenix", does it leave a bad taste?
If I planned to reside in this area for my remaining years, I would not even think twice about it, but aspirations dictate that I should be prepare to be hirable elsewhere!!
Thanks for all of your input. I am also curious--anybody out there who already has an online degree find that they were "knocked" for it? Mudskipper
