Help University of Phoenix Degree.
"Ok, I'm busting it all out here and asking for your help. Are you a hiring manager? Would you hire a UOP graduate? The reason I ask is that due to UOPs misleading tactics. I was enrolled there and graduated with a BSIT. I have since graduation been employed as a secretary...because no one hiring believes UOP is anything more than a degree mill. Please tell me if your company would hire a UOP graduate. I want to get a start on some hard data so I can fight this legally...I want to prove they "sold" me a bogus degree.
Also in your opinion what could someone in my shoes do to improve their chances of getting into the IT field?"

"Your problem is that you are competing against others with degrees from MIT, Cal Tech, CU. It's not that your degree is worthless it's that their degree is worth more. You may be able to do what I did. I too have a worthless BS, but I followed that up with an MS from a quality school."
