I've met a few.
Some of you have to remember it's a check box for most (that intend to graduate).
I've met a VP at a local Oil & Gas company in DFW that had a BS from Phoenix. He knew his shite.
I also went to Phoenix while I was in the military back in 2006. This was before it was toxic. They had local classes on base and offices in the education center. I did IT. I was Cyber Surety for the AF so it translated.
I think part of the reason I fell into a good job was my military background.
Anyway, I later got my masters at a brick and mortar.
I do well (north of $130). None of my bosses have mentioned it. Thy interviewed me based on who I was. Glad I found a group of people committed to being thorough.

Yep. I work for a Government contractor. Federal positions typically have strict requirements for a person to billed at a certain rate for a certain labor category. Experience can usually replace the degree requirement, but not always. For folks with tons of experience, valuable training, and certifications, the piece of paper from DeVry or Phoenix checks the box just fine.
