I was looking at an online university as one of my options for grad school and immediately i found out there is a great amount of resistance in accepting online degrees in the professional world. Even if the education is of high quality, online degrees are generally dismissed as inferior or even fake. It seems to me that one day, online education will be very common.

How long do you think it will take before online education will be widely accepted, if you think it will one day be widely accepted?

Online degrees are available now in almost every aspect of the professional world.

General Public:
What are your thoughts on those who achieve their degrees online through accredited online schools? What professions do you feel warrant traditional schooling as opposed to online schooling? Why?

Employers:
What are your thoughts on applicants or the currently employed who have achieved their degrees through online means?

Please, no cited letters or references. Looking for personal introspective only. Thanks!
