Content: Many students obtain an accredited degree in under a year. Some colleges even offer "work experience" credit for students with relevant work experience. Work experience credit allows students to apply their work experience toward the completion of their degree by testing out of a subject they're already familiar with. I'm Afraid That Employers Won't Take My Degree Seriously
People often decide against going back to school because they cannot attend an ivy league college or other well respected institution. These people frequently assume that their employers will be unimpressed if they earn a degree from a lesser known college or institution. However, most companies consider degrees obtained from career colleges and online universities as acceptable and of the same quality as degrees obtained through traditional programs. In the past, employers may have not considered online degrees from career colleges to be of the same caliber as those obtained through traditional colleges, but the quality of online programs continues to improve and offers the same type of training and education provided through a traditional campus-based college program. Likewise, students completing online programs will develop, or further develop, technology skills highly sought after by many companies, and they may impress their employers by taking the initiative to broaden their knowledge and acquire new skills by completing their degree online.

Working professionals often become concerned that returning to school will not significantly benefit them. In other words, they feel that they will not learn anything new, they haven't learned working or that they will develop skills that will improve their marketability in the job market.
