[quote=Anonymous]I've wondered about that too, when I started running into people in professional positions who were doing online grad degrees. But my nephew, who was diagnosed with lupus at a young age, started an online accounting degree while working in manufacturing at a pretty physical job so that he could move away from the physical job. He got a job with Blue Cross within 6 months after completing the degree and after a few years got an accounting job with Microsoft. His wife is just about to finish one in IT project management, has already been hired in a very small company which has a very large company as its sole client.

The online college they went through (Rasmussen) has existed since 1900 according to Wikipedia but like many online schools has a very low graduation rate and low student loan repayment rate.

But for profit schools have been around or more than 150 years, my grandfather attended one (the school had an entire program in penmanship although I don't know what he studied) as did some of my mom's siblings. I just looked up the history of for profit colleges and the University of Phoenix has an interesting origin story--https://www.nonprofitcollegesonline.com/history-modern-for-profit-education-sector/
