Places like Excelsior College, Empire State College, and TESC have been around for decades, and some of the students *ahem* are going to transfer the credits to a Law School.

Dropping down $500 bucks and having a degree mailed to you is a joke.
Agreed, I didn't mean to categorize ALL online degrees, only degrees that cost less then $500 and require less than a week to attain. People who try and trick pilot recruiters with degrees like this are no different than a pilot who pencil-whips and pads his/her logbook.
