Of course they don’t hold the same value as the Academy but quite a few guys here have them. The like them a lot better then no degree.

Because "quite a few guys have them", that's the be all and end all to your logic of how they are equal or possibly even better?

Do you think they give bonus points to an on-line degree over an in-residence degree?

I don't think all degree avenues are weighed equally

I don't think all majors are weighed equally

I don't think all institutions are weighed equally

Whats' better, a 2.2 GPA from the academy in general studies or an on line degree in aerospace engineering with a 3.9 from a reputable school?

And, we really aren't comparing them to NO degrees are we....talk about faulty logic?

OBTW...what's the Academy? Star-fleet Academy? Boy Scout Academy? Academy of Liberal Arts at the Ringling Brothers Big Top Show Extravaganza in Sarasota? I mean nothing compares to the Academy....am I right?

If you volunteer with an organization because it is a cause dear to you then devote more time. If you are calling around to see which volunteer organization fits best in your schedule so you can log the hours don’t bother. If you like the place you work and feel like your skills and leadership will help the company and give you job satisfaction, then apply for an open management position. If you get hired into a management position and are working 60-80 hours a week at a job you hate then it will not benefit your application to DAL. There are things that look good on an app but in the end if you get the interview and have nothing good to say about those experience then they won’t matter. Good on you for putting your family first in your decisions, keep that up and you will get where you want, and are suppose, to be.
