話說回來, although I am no big fan of the all-too-easy-to-get online "factory" diplomas nowadays, I do sympathize with those less-fortunate souls who, for one reason or another, have to make do with an education obtained from outfits other than the traditional four-year colleges and universities. In fact, I have among my distinguished colleagues a few who earned an MBA from Phoenix University, and I have nothing but the highest respect for them for their intellect, hard work, and results-oriented performance.
