Getting a job with an Online degree?

There's A LOT of commonwealth Universities setting up brunches here, offering their programs etc.
But the locals don't seem keen on a US type education.
Some of the factors they cited (from friends who are/were doing degrees here)
1. Duration, since CW unis take only 3 years to complete their degree
2. More focused in area of interest
3. Cost

I'm one of the rare few that went the US route ):

 

If the university has a good catering reputation, then brunch can be a huge selling point

I know it was just a typo.

To the original poster: I think the bigger issue is great university vs. mediocre university, rather than online program vs. residential program.
