AppStem is a cutting-edge software design and development company in San Francisco which creates mobile apps, games, and backend services for companies around the world. I don’t want to be too harsh here, but not only would I not interview someone who went to an unaccredited online university, I would say that would even be a strike against them. Matt Beaudet, CEO of NemaMetrix
NemaMetrix is a growing biotechnology company which provides scientific testing equipment and services. It’s a ‘darn good place to work,’ according to CEO Matt Beaudet, who has hired approximately 100 people for businesses over the past 20 years. Overall I view online degrees as like a partial degree. 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.
