text: is online colleges seen worth your time by the job industry?   there are several online universities that are worth looking into and which one you choose will depend on what you want to major in (just as you would choose a traditional universities). many companies recognize the degrees from online universities because, as we all know, computers are the wave of the future. i have met many people taking their degree online; most of these people are working on their masters degree so you can believe it is for real. i am in the human services field and have also worked in city entities they all recognize online degrees. there are many non-credible universities out there as well as credible ones so be careful which college you choose but don't delay in your decision to attend college where-ever you go. by the way i am attending university of phoenix online and loving it. good luck.
