Here’s some great news if you’re thinking about getting a degree online.
I just read a report that said 85 Percentage of U.S. employers say that online degrees are more acceptable today than they were five years ago. That’s according to a survey conducted by Vault Inc.
That’s not all. The report also mentioned that 86 Percentage of U.S. employers would be willing to accept a job applicant with an online degree.
Now in my opinion, that should be 100% 
But it is improving. What needs to happen is that employers need to understand that there’s no different in the quality of an online education than one received in a traditional classroom environment.
And it seems to be taking place. The study indicated that 34 Percentage of U.S. employers have encountered a job applicant with an online degree. and 20 Percentage of U.S. employers have hired a job applicant with an online degree.

I say this statistic in the USA Today, and it just blew me away…
Let’s take 100 ninth graders in high school, and follow them for the next 10 years. Here’s what we’ll find:
- At the end of four years, 68 of these 100 ninth graders will graduate from high school.
- Of those 68 high school graduates, only 40 of them will immediately enroll in college.
- Of those 40 that enrolled in college, only 27 are still there the following year.
- And of these 27 students, 18 of them will graduate within 6 years.
So after 10 years, only 18 of the 100 wide-eyed ninth graders have made it - they have a college degree in there hands.
Doesn’t that just blow you away?

Seems like good ol’ Miss Spelling is in the hot seat again.
Yesterday’s USA Today had a front page article about how she’s having to defend her plans to reform the USA’s higher education system.
Well, what do you expect? She compared getting a college degree to “buying a car” in that you need to compare schools to make sure you’re getting your money’s worth.
That’s a little too simple an anology for me. how about you?
Now, I agree that we do need to have a better way to compare colleges, but there’s so much subjectivity in all of that, I really don’t think Uncle Sam can do a better job than say the US News and World Report, which ranks colleges every year.
Oh by the way, Miss Spelling created the ”commission” that studied and made the recommendations that she’s now trying to put in place. A monopoly of ideas? Well, one commission member thought so. He refused to sign the commission report, stating that it created a “fake sense of crisis”.
More on this later
