Tons of people go to brick and mortar schools for a useless education as well.
My point was that quite a few major schools now offer online programs that are not useless. Just some quick searching shows that UF, Texas A&M, and Stanford offer online versions of the classes they teach on campus.
That is true, but they're designed to supplement a degree program that is on-campus.
I'm referring to schools like University of Phoenix, DeVry, ITT Tech, etc. Those schools not only provide crap online education, but almost completely eliminate the networking aspect of going to a brick and mortar school.
