I've done online classes before. They're a joke as they can't foster class interaction. You might be able to get away with them for one dimensional course such as stats 101 that don't need any major interaction but to claim a DEGREE is done online means it's not a real degree. That probably hurts those who have been duped into paying for them but it has to be said. FWIW, there's a difference between being in a job interview where they say "tell me about your degree" and you mention it's done "online" than you boss encouraging you as those are different situations. In truth, I'd rather have an arts degree than an online "degree" of any type.
You must be trolling. You must.
In my experience (13 years in high-tech aerospace industry and 2+ years in public sector) I have never, and I mean never, seen a boss/supervisor/manager/director/mayor/city manager question the validity of an online degree. And I have seen a lot of people come and go. They just don't give a crap how you got your degree.
They all care if you get results (something you must not be acquainted with), and they know that how you get your degree is of no indication of your future performance. Again, the real world prefers someone who busts his ass by working a full time job while earning an online degree over someone who coasted in a bubble for many years (which you clearly prolonged by becoming what you've become).
Most of the times hiring supervisors care about real life situations, not philosophical stuff.
The fact that you can't even stand someone taking notes on a XXI century device rather than with feathers and scrolls makes you quite unqualified for evaluating online classes.
