I already have a 4-year degree with a major in chemistry, but it seemed like I wasted my time and money, since without experience my degree is useless. No one hires anyone anymore just because they have a degree. So what's the point in all the online degrees? What good can come from spending 2 years online for a degree, but still no work experience??

An online degree with a major in chemistry would probably not be looked on very highly - how did you do labs? Was it all online? Without even any practical experience in lab classes, there would be major holes in your training.
Does U of Phoenix push students to look for internships? An internship is a good thing to have on a resume - without it, jobs can be hard to find. Most colleges do suggest or require that their students do internships.
Good luck.

A great way to get some experience is through internships and volunteering.
I'm working on an MBA/Accounting degree. My intention is to move into accounting, which I should have done because I excel in accounting. I just didn't want to be glued to a desk all of the time. I have been since I graduated from college so may as well do something I enjoy and I'm good at.
