1) regionally accredited. This is the most important fact. Also non profit, which helps. By no means is it prestigious, though.
2) I've met people who were successful from various programs at WGU(mostly IT programs) and some were very successful by moving on to high paying careers.
3) in 5 years, your degree will matter much less and mostly be a "checkbox" while you and your experiences will be much more important. To be fair, I don't know your goals in the business world, but I haven't seen WGU degrees be a hindrance for anyone yet.
