Online Degree

Most degrees aren't worth the paper they're printed on. It's what you do pertaining to it that matters and even then employers don't give a shit unless it's impressive work. I will say this that most people when they see a school they don't recognize they get iffy and when they find out it's an online school they get even more turned off.
So that being said you will have to go out of your way to build a resume of side projects and jobs that will pertain to economics in order for anyone to take you seriously. This means before and after graduation.
With no physical school to join a club or form a thing you have your work cutout for you.
Good luck.
