I am also a graduate student at AMU like Corvus and I'm very satisfied with what my school provides from every single aspect. If a school is regionally accredited, it should not be a problem that it is online but online schools have good and bad reputation as well. Always look for a school that has regional accreditation and a real campus. I am hoping for a good job with my degrees even though I think I will want to complete another Master's in a traditional institution in the future. Online education helps you save time that you would spend traveling to a campus and it is much more flexible - but it is not true that you won't have to study a lot - I went to a brick and mortar college before starting my online education and I have to study much more as an online student. I'm not complaining, it is good that online education is not just a diploma mill and I am sure most employers realize that too. So my answer is just do what you want, you won't regret it as long as you invest all your energy and ambitions into learning something new.
I wish you good luck!
