Would you ever recommend a NA degree?

[Ideas]

I'll be blunt and to the point - it's a total waste of money and time to get an unaccredited degree.  It would be easier just to lie.  At least that's free.
EDIT TO ADD:  University of the People did earn accreditation a couple years back and might be a great solution for Idea's situation.

U of People seems like it's almost the cost of COSC, etc. They say a Bachelor's is estimated to cost $4060 and an Associates $2060. I would just do an RA Associates in that case. I might be able to get some grant or scholarship, if I delay my TESU degree longer (which would probably cost me because of the Study.com agreement expiring).

I'm not thinking of getting an unaccredited degree, but I am still confused on where the cut off is regarding accrediting body and being worthwhile. I trust your opinion on the matter

Are you saying the ones with state approval are a waste of time too, or do those make the cut? It's an online job, but would I have to only look for schools in the state I live in? I am planning to move to another state and maybe move down the road.

I also don't know how secondary/programmatic accreditation factors in. It seems like bjcheung is saying state approval plus secondary/programmatic is more solid. Is it worthwhile if they have both? I would assume some secondary/programmatic are better than others, and I don't know how to tell the difference.
