1. Unfortunately if your applying for a replicable institution then they will shy away from the online degree applicants. Reall education is to be found inside a classroom with students who a natural curiosity about learning. Basically, what I am is if it is you with perhaps a master's and someone else with a bachelor's degree from a 4 year university they'll choose them over you. So think about that. Hope that answers your question!
2. ^That's not entirely true. We're not talking about a UPhoenix degree here. Some employers will favor a brick and mortar degree, some wont care, some even though few will prefer a online degree over the other. Point being is you really need to get your degree from a school that is regionally accredited and prefferably associated with a brick and mortar school. If your looking for a school counseling career path Umass Boston has a online online program for "Master of Education in School Counseling". It is the same degree as from the brick and mortar school and wont say you took the courses online on it if you are worried about that. Keep in mind this isn't a open enrollment program. The admission requirements include: -An official transcript from each institution attended (both graduate and undergraduate). -Undergraduate transcript with at least a 3.0 cumulative average. -Bachelor’s degree equivalent to U.S. bachelor’s degree (a 3-year bachelor’s degree plus a two-year master’s is also accepted or students can complete additional undergraduate courses). -A minimum of five undergraduate social science courses. -Submission of Test Scores: Out-of-state and international applicants must submit a test score for either the Millers Analogy Test (MAT) or the Graduate Record Exam (GRE) unless the applicant already holds a graduate degree from an accredited U.S. institution. In-state applicants must submit test results for the Massachusetts Test for Educator Licensure (MTEL) - Literacy & Communications portion. -International students must submit scores for the TOEFL or IELTS. -Three strong letters of recommendation indicating the applicant’s ability to work well with others. -A two-part statement of interests and intent. The first part (300 words) gives a student’s reasons for wishing to pursue graduate study; the second part (at least 1,200 words) describes a student’s interests and discusses the kind of work s/he would like do to in the intended field. -At least one year of paid or volunteer work in a school or equivalent setting is recommended. -etc...
