Hello,
I need a professional advice on the matter below. Please, take this very serious and if you don't have much knowledge on this matter do not write. I appreciate everyone's time.
I am a recent college graduate and I have a professional work experience ever since my Junior year. I am currently employed and working full time. Now I am thinking of getting my Master's Degree in MBA or Finance. But I want to find an online school since I do not want to leave my job. I am a very bright student, with great grades and great experience.
Please advise me which are the best online degree schools?
Also, please note that my main worry is if I attend to an on-line degree school (for profit/non-profit) will an employer look at my resume and give it less priority than someone who will have a degree from a regular graduate school??? (I am not factoring in here the rating of the school as much, rather just the fact that it is online and profit/non-profit).

The Financial Times has a good listing of online MBA degrees. Look for schools accredited by Ascsb, Equis and AMBA - ideally by all three.
For profit schools like Phoenix are never excellent.

Well, it is not accredited (See https://www.aacsb.net/eweb/DynamicPage.aspx?Site=AACSB&WebCode=AccredSch), it has a very low completion rate, no active alumni network, no serious academic credibility (See eduniversal)... and no real careers services.
