Jocelyn Blore

Content: It carries a sheen of not being that hard to get and not being a good indicator of an actual good education. Jose Galindo, CEO & Founder of MoneyMio
MoneyMio is a resourceful bilingual website which educates people on investments, loans, debt, credit cards, retirement planning, and other facets of personal finance. It offers a variety of tools for consumer research, as well as resources for entrepreneurs and investors at all levels. Tradition and familiarity might cause an employer to be biased against online degrees, but things change. Stephen Graves, Operations Section Chief at the Department of Homeland Security & FEMA
Mr. Graves works with DHS/FEMA’s National Incident Management Assistance Team, which is deployed to assist states in the event of natural disasters, terrorist attacks, and other serious incidents. I am not convinced that traditional brick-and-mortar institutions deliver a better curriculum compared to distance programs. Nathan Gustafson, CTO & Founder of Manage My Co-Op
Manage My Co-Op is a software company which creates tools for buying clubs and cooperatives to facilitate customer ordering, administration, and customer service. It is mobile friendly and offers flexible fee options for group buys of various types of products which are typically bought in bulk. While I am unsure if this is true, I generally assume that an online degree is going to be more specific and lack much of the liberal arts education available at a traditional campus. Lauren Karasek, Executive Director of Social Media at Spark Growth
Spark Growth is a marketing firm which helps businesses create engaging websites, email campaigns, social media strategies, and other facets of a successful digital presence.
