hai,

I would go ahead and apply, be honest about where your degree comes from. If they do not hire you then that is the way it goes. It may seem elitist, but with the job market the way it is today employers can be picky as there are so many candidates on the market.

Hi,

A number of reputable and excellent online schools could easily have been included in a longer list, and potential students should shop around for their best-fit distance learning school based upon areas of interest, industry recognition,

Thanks...

There are many good schools providing online education in health science also. One such very demanding career is MRI technician. Lot of people are enrolling in this career because of it's high requirement in hospitals and private clinics. There are many accredited schools providing online associate and degree programs in MRI technician. These schools are also providing grants to the students which covers their study costs completely. Following site has all the information about the online schools for MRI tech and their grant schemes.

Because of these grants students can focus on studies better, and need not bother about the school fees and expenses.

Online Schools aims to be the premier portal for online education on the web. Our goal is not to revolutionize the concept of education, but rather to help bring people into the 21st century in terms of the way they perceive learning. Education is no longer simply about teachers and textbooks. In today’s Internet age, education is now about infographics, blogs, e-books, web articles, youtube, wikipedia, and so much more.
