    LadyKT:

    Ok - that's good to know.  I mentioned something to my supervisor - she said she never heard of Kaplan Online, but most attorneys aren't tech savy nowadays.  I'm hoping to eventually get a job in NYC, so hopefully NYC employers will recognize Kaplan's name and give me some credit towards teaching myself per se.

    Hi LadyKT!

    I've worked in NYC and the NYC metro area, and Kaplan advertises quite a bit around here, so it's recognizable. When I've conducted interviews and done hiring, I've always wanted to know about a person's current skills and work ethic. I can understand your concern, though. It would be really disappointing not to have your academic work recognized simply because potential employers aren't familiar with online coursework!
