Letter: Hiring trends diluted by recession?

The Columbian
Published: September 9, 2011, 5:00pm

Are employers hiring graduates of online schools in place of graduates of brick-and-mortar schools? In our current economy, with unemployment so high (and going to get higher when part-time workers get back their full-time hours) I wonder: Are individuals with traditional degrees having to compete with graduates of the nontraditional schools? I mean no offense. I just wondered if some of us wasted money.
