Getting a degree online from University of Phoenix a mistake?
I heard that the degree is not as good as the paper it’s typed on. A: Well, I am an employer in the business/financial area so I can give some insight. I generally do not care where you graduated with a Bachelors degree; granted, I will throw your resume out if you have a degree mill listed. UoP isn’t a degree mill so they’re okay. Most people don’t even work in the subject where they receievd their bachelors so really, I couldn’t care less other than putting a checkmark on my HR sheet’s “undergraduate degree required” category. At the masters level, however, it’s entirely different. I scrutinize where you attended. UoP with the type of applicants i get signals a huge red flag. UoP usually awards masters in business areas to people already with established careers, so they don’t take the type of positions I offer. However, if I see someone without much work experience with a masters at UoP I will dismiss them as a candidate.
