Sure they are. They just suck. Take it from someone who has taken online classes b/c it's easier on the profs to just record their lectures, and the students love it (until test time)--It sucks. When you're at home/online, you're MUCH less focused, you don't pay as much attention, you put it off, and (the WORST part) you don't have any interaction with the prof when you have a question.
That may not sound that bad, but I noticed really quickly that I learned almost as much from the questions OTHER ppl asked as I did from the prof's lecture itself. You can't do that if you're not there.
Now, if the question is not "online course vs. classroom course" but instead "online SCHOOL vs. real SCHOOL", then I can tell you here and now:
PLEASE, PLEASE, don't waste your money going to an 'online school'.
The degrees (if you get one) are WORTHLESS, and the actual education you receive is worthless as well. You'll just throw a lot of $$ away at a high interest rate for a degree that is worth less that the paper it's printed on. Do you really want to go to "online school" for a couple of years just to pay them thousands of dollars back for a "degree" that a Burger King manager would laugh at?
*sigh*
That's all I can do, I suppose. If you want to make something more of yourself, go to a real school (even a community college for a couple of years), read a lot, and maybe pick up the book "48 Days to the Work You Love" by - I forget who (I'd Google it, but I don't want to be a book pimp)--Ooh, and "Guerrilla Marketing" by another guy, if you want to start your own business.
Just remember: If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. (E.g., "You can go to school in your PJs and the get a GREAT job!)
If that worked, the unemployment rate wouldn't be as high as it is. :)\
Best of luck!
(Oh, and I left an answer about how to deal with interviews too somewhere on this silly site--check it out b/c I KNOW you'll make the best choices! :)

How does a shy guy act online?
When someone is shy interacting online can be a much less stressful way to meet and talk to people. Don't try to create an alternate persona of some sort or appear "cool" online. Instead, just be yourself. By doing that you make any in-person interactions much easier later on.
