I chalk that up to "most people are morons". Its true.
I have a guy working for me with an English Degree from a great school and half of his professional emails include short hand, internet chat phrases or emojis. Ur, Lol, 2 instead of to....its bad.
What I have seen is all of the people I've come across that have online degrees right out of high school (not really the night school types, but someone early twenties with an online degree) lack functional social skills. They cannot even carry a conversation during an interview. We have a generation of kids who grew up on the net and lack interpersonal skills, all think they need a 4 year degree in digital arts, and are not prepared for the real world.
Thats another thing I look at for Degrees, is when they graduated. If I see someone has been in the Work Force for 20 years and has a degree from an online place 5 years ago, I take that into consideration. Working person trying to better themselves and their career. Might not know any different. Kind of like the OP seems.
