It depends on if you already have a job and they give you a raise if you get your Masters then it would be beneficial If you are just starting out looking for a job and you have your masters degree it may work against you, because you don't have any real world experience.

Personally, I would not recommend it. Despite their massive advertising campaign, the University of Phoenix online has a fairly poor reputation. Depending on your situation, I'd recommend looking into the option of part-time or evening study at a local college or university (I'm assuming you are working now and can't do full-time study...but if you can, go ahead) or some reputable distance-education programs. There are several well-respected distance education programs out there, the key is to make sure they are associated with a well established university.
