You are absolutely wrong. Many online schools are very successful. I have an Associate, Bachelors, and Masters degree from online, regionally accredited schools (accredited by the same organizations that accredit UCLA, Stanford, and Harvard) and have been promoted ahead of my peers and been very successful. I have also attended on-campus classes and I have learned more, become more disciplined, and benefited more from my online experiences.
Also, many entrepreneurs have succeeded HUGELY in the higher education market. Look at Kaplan, the private for-profit orrganization that owns some schools and is a bigger contributor to the revenues of the Washington Post than the newspaper side of that house.
Do some research and drop your obvious bias (yes, I am biased in the other direction because I have constantly had to deal with people, who have no idea what they are talking about, insulting those who worked hard for the same level of education but either couldn't or didn't want to attend a brick and mortar)
