I have no intentions of getting one, (I'm already in a University...I was just curious) but are the ones from places like "University of Phoenix Online" taken seriously by workplaces?
I see Yahoo! propping these places up all the time...For instance I just seen an article on Yahoos! front page entitled: "Why Online Degrees are so Hot."
Whats the word on this?

In my opinion, the online "online" degrees that are reputable are those from an already established University.
They are advertised on Yahoo so much because of economical reasons...if you have the money, you can get your ad on there.

Yes! They are taken very seriously. I work in hr and when we see a degree from an nline school we know that person didn't just go to school on daddy's money - they worked for their degree without the fun of college. We even pay our employees schooling and reccommend University of Phoenix. 20% of our staff is currently enrolled there.
I tried to get my masters online and it was just too difficult for all I have going on. I have alot of respect for people that can actually graduate from the online program. I think it takes alot more self discipline than the "traditional" route.

not all of them. You have to make your own research and make sure that the school is accredited and has a good reputation. Also, it should be established for a while (not a new school that has been out there for only a couple of years)
also, it depends on what degree you are seeking.
