Agreed, although one user on this forum somewhere got an online PhD in Fine Art and still managed to secure a position in Riyadh.

That PhD holder either used one of his other degrees (completed on campus) in order to qualify for an employment/work visa, or his sponsor secured him a business/work visit visa. Regardless, his doctoral degree wasn't considered, just as a TEFL-related online MA wouldn't be.

Which is funny because he makes a HUGE deal about having said PhD, even on here. It's quite comical to see someone pompously advertise it everywhere they go Laughing Laughing Laughing
