Higher education has as much to do with prestige as the education itself. Getting an online education is equivalent to saying you got a diploma through the mail. Maybe it's valid or maybe it's a diploma mill. You can't be sure. There's nothing equivalent to saying you graduated from an ivy school or such. Online education is making a dent. Some prestigious universities have an online curriculum and are awarding diplomas that can't be distinguished from a on-campus diplomas but they are the minority by far. The way I see it. Online education should be a game changer in 3rd world countries. Yet, it doesn't seem to be. It looks like it really does come down to motivation and your ability to push your way through the classes.
