MBA for under $1000

[Tedium]

I think this kind of stuff works better for IT employment since having proven skills is still sometimes more important than having a related degree. Udacity has bragged about people landing jobs with their certificates of completion.

I think you're right. This woman's situation is abnormal, by the looks of it: Peace Corps stints, living and traveling overseas, humanitarian work, etc. I have a feeling that she already knows how to sell herself, and I doubt there is anything she could get from this freebie "degree" that she could not have already talked her way into.

I don't think this is a viable option for just anyone walking in off the street. You would have to already have a pretty amazing resume, or like sanantone mentioned, work in a field where this sort of thing is more acceptable.
