One of the few ways to secure a very comfortable lifestyle comes in the form of the highly lucrative IT graduate degree.
(EMAILWIRE.COM, January 25, 2010 ) Houston, TX
Although the economy is a veritable downslide, it’s important to note that not everyone is on the suffering end of the spectrum. Sure, it may seem insensitive to suggest that you could create your own brand of fiscal dominance; however, let’s get real. Everyone, no matter the state of the global economy, still dreams of being wealthy. It’s a part of that broad understanding that every US citizen has of the American Dream.
The truth is there doesn’t seem to be anything anyone can do to make that dream a reality. Without the proper credentials you may as well forget even attempting to get ahead in the world market; however, even a Doctorate doesn’t ensure that you’ll even get a past the screening process of a corporate firm that could secure your financial increase over an extended period of time, unless it is in the correct field. If you’re thinking of making yourself a viable part of the world market, you’ve got to at least acquire a degree that will put you in line with every corporation’s desire to be at the forefront of every innovation that seems to arise at every turn of the channel. Information technology is the newest and most relevant credential anyone can have in their possession. Every company wants to know how they can get ahead of the competition; the biggest way is to have a top notch IT team. Top notch IT means an IT graduate degree.
It’s no big secret that any accreditation from a technology degree program will ensure you a spot at the top of any employers list. However, having any advanced IT degree will get you some of the most unattainable positions on the market right now. If you’re looking to get your foot planted solidly on a top rung of the financial ladder, you must get yourself on the right track and seek out an information technology degree program. More important than finding one is finding one in a timely manner that will ensure that you’ll be able to acquire a respectable income by the end of 2011.

Online students have to overcome uneducated prejudiced and bias from prospective employers.
(EMAILWIRE.COM, December 05, 2009 )
Fort Lauderdale, FL
Debunking the Online Degree Myth.
With increasing enrollment and lack of financial resources burdening brick-and-mortar community colleges and four universities, more people are opting to pursue online studies with an online university. But as they seek to fulfill their educational goals, these online students are facing ridicule and prejudice when they begin to hunt for a job. There are several ways in which online students can combat these “Negative Nellies” and validate their nontraditional choice for going to college online. The following suggestions provide some simple, yet effective ways to win over prospective employers.
Successful students need to become their own advocates to promote the validity of a college degree conferred from an online university. How would they do this? They need to make available to their critics authentic evidence substantiated with empirical data gathered by objective third parties. Students should have their critics take note that attendance to an online degree program would not be followed if the school was not regionally accredited. The website of any online university will have in place a specific resource area in which anyone can access their accreditation status. Official accreditation agencies are recognized by the Federal Government and the Department of Education. With out this endorsement, most profit and nonprofit online universities can not receive Federal funding.
Statistics from a recent Vault.com survey showed that 19% of HR managers have ever hired someone with an online degree and 18% wrote that online degrees were not “credible and not acceptable.” A surprising 59% believed that online degrees weren’t always as credible as traditional degrees. To dispel a similar uneducated bias that prospective employers might hold, online students could point out both tangible and intangible benefits to hiring a graduate from an online school. Most online students choose to go to school online because of demands with family and work life. It takes dedication and strong time management skills to balance work, family, and school.
Another option students can choose to validate their online degree is by compiling a combination of strong reference letters which describe concrete experience obtained through the university’s coursework and a well-formatted, organized portfolio. Reference letters could come from course mentors, classroom instructors, degree chairs or even the vice president of academic affairs. Portfolios can either be accessed online in a digital format such as PDF or compiled into a physical binder. Either way, the portfolio should contain a combination of actual project-based work experience, official transcripts and course examples which are relevant to the job being sought.
According to Sheila Danzig, director of Degree.com, http://www.degree.com/ the premier Internet portal for on line studies, the trend for employers not to hire prospective workers with an online degree has slowed significantly as thousands of people choose to turn to online education. Though there are studies which prove that workers who have achieved an online education often rise above their counterparts, there will always be someone out there who cannot be convinced that online schools are a valid, credible option to an education.

Though a continuous stream of online universities continues to make its way into mailboxes around the nation, there are those who still don’t see the validity of an online education; Degree.com has rummaged through the nonsense to help you decide.
(EMAILWIRE.COM, December 03, 2009 ) Fort Lauderdale, FL No one would argue that the prospect of getting a degree from an online university seems a bit shady. When it comes to finding a school that perfectly fits your needs, you may not even consider going near a university that doesn’t require you to shell out tens of thousands of dollars and sit in uncomfortably dark and mouldy classrooms. However, why not take a chance on a school with just as much accreditation as any traditional university but with better scenery (namely your bedroom) and a more realistic approach to funding? Online universities are becoming more and more prominent in the academic world, yet many still find their legitimacy questionable. Well, question no more. www.degree.com – The Premier Internet Portal for Online Study has sifted through the bologna and listed the 25 top online degree programs in the nation. With Professor Sheila Danzig, Director of Degree.com, at the helm, the website has made it possible for those students who wish to continue on a more non-traditional path to academic success to do so without even leaving the sanctity of their own homes. This elite 25 is a group of universities that consist of instructors from different professional backgrounds, many with advanced degrees in their particular field. Not only do these universities offer their students some of the greatest minds from which to siphon their knowledge, they offer a plethora of degree distinctions and programs that will help each student change his or her own stars no matter their current situation. Whatever your passion, whatever your eventual destination, these universities are sure to have something that will stimulate your mind and at least give you the tools necessary to be successful no matter on what path life takes you. In order to find out which school best suits your needs you’ll need to take a gander at the selection that Degree.com has to offer. Rest assured there are online degree courses that will give you the confidence to seek higher education to r begin your career, or seek higher education to give you the credentials to shoot for the career of your dreams. Each online university that Degree.com has listed comes complete with a basic description and a way in which you may acquire further information directly from the university. The next step is to determine what it is you’re looking for in a university. For most, the chance to get an acclaimed degree from a university with a good name is enough to pay through the backside; however, with an online degree you’re saving yourself virtually hundreds of dollars for a four year education that is just as viable through an online university that will ultimately cost you a mere fraction of that fee. In the long run, it’s always about money –how much something costs and how much you can save with the alternative. If you’re looking for a university that is as legitimate as it is easy on your bank account, searching the files of Degree.com is your path to sure academic and financial success.

Don’t waste your time or your money on a fake degree scam. Learn the difference between an accredited online degree university and a diploma mill. Make sure the online degree program you choose is accredited.
(EMAILWIRE.COM, May 20, 2009 )
Most education experts agree that earning a good reputation is one of the biggest obstacles for online degree programs today. Many accredited online universities offer hardworking adults solid educations and an excellent learning experience. Thanks to the problems caused by fake degree scams and diploma mills, though, many accredited online degree programs are getting a bad rap.
Although a few diploma mills have been in the news lately, the majority of people have never heard of them, and even fewer people know how to identify a diploma mill from an accredited degree program. Because of this, some employers are becoming even less trustful of online degree programs, and are being very cautious about hiring people with online degrees.
Spotting a fake degree scam or diploma mill is often much easier than you might think. First, if the university demands contact entirely by phone or email, and demands that you submit your documents via email and refuse to give you a physical address, this can be a red flag.
In addition, if an online degree program offers you a degree based solely on credit for “life experience”, without being expected to do any course work, the program is almost certainly unaccredited. Don’t expect to pay several hundreds or thousands of dollars and earn a college degree a few weeks after you apply. Legitimate universities just don’t work that way.
Finally, if you search online using a major search engine, you will often find results from Wikipedia or education boards warning people about these universities. Most importantly, however, check out the college’s accreditation. Many quality consultation sites, such as www.Degree.com, refuse to even list unaccredited colleges or universities, so that potential students aren’t misled by these scams.
If they can’t prove they’re accredited through an agency approved by the U.S. Department of Education, don’t spend your money. (For a complete list of accrediting agencies authorized by the Department of Education, visit http://www.ed.gov/admins/finaid/accred/accreditation_pg7.html).
Sacramento, California May 20, 2006
Recently, some scam artists have been offering to sell students degrees from accredited traditional and online universities. They forge degree certificates and transcripts with the student’s name, and the student then holds a degree certificate stating that he or she has graduated from an accredited online university or traditional college degree program.
These schemes can be a little harder to spot, but the forgeries usually aren’t of professional quality, and the certificates don’t look quite right. Furthermore, be aware that in the U.S. it is illegal to use forged documents to get a job, and you might find yourself in some serious trouble if you try this approach.
Earning a degree from an accredited online degree program may take a little longer, but it’s worth the extra investment of time and money. Don’t ruin your reputation and your career by turning to a fake degree scam. Make sure the degree program from which you graduate is an accredited online university. You’ll be glad you did.
