I wouldn't be able to say much about Capella or Walden besides the fact that they are both private, for-profit schools. Neither of them has the best reputation, but they are both regionally accredited. If the degree can help you get a raise, promotion, or check a box, it does its job, but it will not impress or wow new employers like a degree from an Ivy League or top school would. Many people who earn doctoral degrees from these two schools sometimes have difficulty finding employment at universities and often resort to adjunct positions. Still, you can go through the directory of faculty members at different universities, and you would be surprised to find that at least one or more have a degree from Capella or Walden. I guess what I am trying to say is the degree is what you make out of it. For me, it looks like a fun opportunity to try competency-based education, and for a low price of about $2,850, I can't go wrong with adding an additional master's degree under my belt.
I like your attitude!
It's starting to sound like there's not a big difference in perception.
