Although going to an elite school can be very rewarding, it is not the only factor employers look at when deciding on the right candidate for a job. A students desire to succeed is just as important, and getting a degree online vs. attending an elite college can be the right choice for many people. There are many reasons for getting an online degree from an accredited college. One of them being that it is a move in the right direction towards getting the career you want at a cheaper cost and with more convienence. This is very true.

I just spent a while looking over my papers from my master's program where I no doubt mention this and cite the course but to no alas (I can't find it). I'm certain a dissenting side is present in the wide world of publications, and that overtime graduate earning is equal no matter where the student attended college. By and large (the argument went) the only difference was in the 1st job attained by the graduate. Anyone else ever heard that argument/statistic set?
