I'm 25. I finished my degree at Excelsior and I would do it all over again. I did my "time" with a brick and mortar associates (the one that took me six years to complete), and I'm never looking back! I'm married and I have been working in the career field I want to stay in since I was 19. I don't need the socialization and job networking that many B &M schools provide. I've got that in spades with my current job, plus I have the relevant job experience that many freshly minted B & M grads lack. Oh, and I owe $0 in student loans-- my employer paid for most of that.
Honestly, I think that the ignorance surrounding online degrees will disappear over time. We live in the Information Age, and I think we'll see the day when the online degrees outnumber the B & M ones due to the accessibility and often lower costs involved. Just my two cents.
Oh, and my father in law also thought that online degrees were all scams... and then he saw Uncle Sam recognize my legitimate online degree.
