Do people see it as a diploma mill up here in Canada? I'm 22 and just about fully committed to the new networking - cisco degree but I'm worried that:

People will look up the school, see that it's primarily online, and immediately discard my resume in favor of a local college/university.

I'm also just generally scared about the IT sector. I watched a video of a programmer simply running a script to delete and redeploy 1000s of linux machines in a split second. There was an issue with one of the boxes and he didnt even need to troubleshoot it, but that entire scenario is outside the scope of this question.
