Here is the thing about those online "diploma mills" that those who despise them seem to not understand. Those options exist, and are popular, for a reason. In the modern business world, a diploma, meaning the piece of paper, is required to get you in the door, or to get a promotion that you have already earned, but cannot take advantage of without checking the box. The employer doesn't care where the diploma came from. GEICO, for example, routinely sends people to Strayer to get a requisite diploma so that they can promote them. The reality is the lack of academic rigor is an advantage to certain segments of the working public. It is really dumb that companies require a diploma, and pay for it, for employees that have already proven ready for a promotion, but as long as that farce continues to exist, crappy online diploma mills will continue to fill a roll that is necessary for many people.
