			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Online schools are great for those that want to go back to school, and want to earn their Bachelors or MBA. It’s also perfect for the stay at home mom or disabled student. But unfortunately, online schools get a bad reputation. A lot of people are afraid that if they choose an online school, employers won’t hire them. Some still believe that you can’t get a valuable education from an online school. You won’t be provided with that “real world” experience. There are also strong beliefs that online schools are diploma mills. In this article, I will tell you what’s false and what’s true.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The first myth is that most employers won’t hire you once they find out you graduated from an online school. Yes, there are employers that are against online schooling, but this is not always the case. During the job interview, you should emphasize how you were able to handle all the course work by yourself. Some people believe that online classes are easy to take. Briefly explain your classes and what they entailed. Maybe your employer will realize how hard-working and dedicated you are. That could help them reconsider you for employment. Plus, some of the best universities and colleges now offer online courses. Your employer will pay more attention to your great education, rather on how you got it.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The next common myth is that you won’t receive any valuable education from an online school. This is also false. As I said before, there are brick-and-mortar schools that offer online learning. Just do a quick search for the top three online schools. Most likely you have heard of them. The curriculum is just as hard as the ones on a college campus. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Obviously, not every school is a diploma mill. There are web sites that will help you weed out the bad from the good.</p>
