Congratulations on completing your bachelor degree! You going to be doing great things with the education you acquired.
Congrats on finishing your degree! 🎉
Thanks! 🙏🏾 good luck on yours
@@danigan9564Congratulations my brother, I'm really proud of you. I have one question for you. I don't come from a science background and I am also not very good in math but I'm looking to pursue a degree in cyber security. Is this possible considering my deficiency?
You dropping gems bro💪🏿 it’s crazy how 1 video can change your life
Hell yea
Your video was the reason I enrolled after dropping out of college twice! Just started but already love how quickly I was able to get through my first class. (Also love the Persona music in the back). Thank you for this video, it quite literally changed the game for me
You're obviously a friend, or the person themself trying to get ppl to buy into this scam.
Thanks for the info, very motivational, your really impacting people to get back on track with their education goal.
Thank you for this information! It is life changing.
Wow man congrats and very impressive for a guy your age to have the dedication and foresight to go big or go home it will definitely serve you well going forward in life for sure
Just subbed! Currently finishing my Associates in IT but plan on going on to WGU! Just achieved my A+ !
Fantastic job
Subcribed! Just did the CompTIA trifecta and this route with WDG is really on my mind now but I want to knock out everything I can before taking the classes.
Absolute savage man, congrats! 🔥
Good shit brov, I’ll be following yaa journey 💯
Such an inspiration! I thought it took at least 2 terms to get a degree at WGU but you showed us it can be done within just one term! Thank you so much for sharing, Dan!!
Thank you for being a crucial part of my motivation and inspiration. I'm Pleased to let you know that I have successfully obtained my bachelor's and master's degrees from WGU. Thank you for making your videos. You have changed more lives than you may have realized.
Congratulations man! Big accomplishment! 👍😄
I'm a Senior in High School and I'm graduating in two weeks. How long did it take your to obtain your BA and MA at WGU? What was your experience like? Did you have a job at the time of your study with WGU?
The guy in the vid saying he made 6 figures before graduation is TOTAL B.S. I'm currently schooling at MyComputerCareer and graduate in a month, I have 5 certifications and have religiously applied at literally over a hundred positions for entry level paying between $20-$25/hr and haven't even had 1 interview. Please don't let these guys lie to you about the quick income you'll make ... That being said I'm starting WGU in a couple months myself to get my bachelor's so the rest of the info in the video is valid
So many grifters leading people astray
Its totally possible actually... Shoot u can get close to 6 figures with just the security plus and some previous experience.... Having your resume tailored for whatever sector youre aiming for makes a difference.
My friend made 130k a year and still don’t hold a single degree. He’s currently working at Roblox as a lead. I’m not in this field but I know a lot of people who hit 100k with no degree.
You sound bitter …. The fact u said my computer career is hilarious 😂 devry ahh school
Sometimes you get lucky bother my second I.T. Job I made 110k a year I had a really good interview
God is good bro . I’m in the process right now of trying to go to school for the same field and Montgomery college is not a route for me . I’m glad I came across this .
Congratulations! 🎉 What an accomplishment!
Thank you very much!
CONGRATULATIONS🥳!!! Thanks for the info, it was very informative 🤗
No problemo!
Major W, I’m around the same age as you and stuck at UVA clawing through an EE degree, and anything about Cybersecurity/Networking hurts my ears LOL… Anyhow, the grind that you put in and the calculated risk you took will definitely be rewarding, super it’s inspiring to hear-congrats on graduating college in record time! Also, solid editing skills
Thanks bro n good luck to you ! Yea cyber security isn’t for everyone
Congrats on the degree man! Hard work pays off
Man you just gave me more confidence. I should be starting by September 1st 😀
WOW! Congrats... So, it is true that you can actually get this if you put the work in. Amazing!
Hey thank you soooooo much for this video ❤❤❤❤
Good job bro, great video as well!
Thanks for sharing your BLESSING with us &honest review with us. As a 22yr old nursing student I’m glad to see this & I’m inspired😊👑
You are so welcome!
Thank You Bro, congratulations 🎉
Great video, Dan. I'm 20 years old, and just graduated community college with a gen-ed associate's degree. My current plan is to go into WGU's Software Engineering program, but I will be looking into their cybersecurity program, too. I love that you gave us an example of how somebody who was young and had relatively little work experience was able to do WGU and be successful at it. Most of the people that do WGU have already worked 5+ years in the field and just need a degree for whatever reason, so it gives me a lot of confidence seeing people like you making it work for them, too.
Hope you were able to nail a killer job!
Not Necessarily. Most people DO NOT have experience in the field they are getting the degree for. If you take third party classes for college credit you can do 70% of the WGU classes before enrolling so you can finish in a semester
@@vmxdla2025 Exactly. I'm doing that right now, actually😉
interesting, this is the same guy i saw a week ago that had me enroll in WGU as well. I wanted to do cyber security as well, but i dont know that i would enjoy it so im sticking to IT General, and i can work my certs around what i ACTUALLY want to do when I decide. I have a background in IT as well but only as entry level tech support/help desk specialist. Thanks for your videos, really makes me feel confident about choosing WGU.
Congratulations btotherly!!!! Many thanks for the info...
Epic intro. Wishing you success brother.
loll I love the transition from the hard edit at the beginning to the calm, nature theme with fishies and swans 🤣🤣
Congrats! I had to pause the video a couple times to find out where that Persona 5 music was coming from. Good taste!
Look in description of my video I linked to the songs
Bro thank you for opening my eyes and thank you again for sharing your experience
Literally after seeing your video like days ago I went and signed myself up for WGU from a local community college that I’m currently attending
You really have me excited to go back to school. Thank you D!
Hey, I'm applying to WGU as we speak anmd have a fewww questions lol. Do you have any social medias that I can contact you on?
@@eliseharden2097 LinkedIn Dan Mbaabu
Congratulations and great job on the editing skills!
Thanks!
I’m going to switch next semester from my in person university to WGU. I’m going back to Amazon. WGU accepts the $5200 tuition reimbursement for as many classes you can take during the year. Instead of that $5200 only paying for 2.5 classes. I felt like I needed in person. But I ended up taking my business, Python, and SQL online anyway! This will be so much faster.
Hey man you earned a sub. Thanks for sharing this info. I'm going to university and I'm hella into these kinds of online platforms OR courses for skill development. Good luck.
Hey man no worries glad you enjoyed it!
@@danigan9564
Congratulations on finishing your degree. Hope all is well and your prospering
Thank you! You too!
Nice dude. How you finished in such a short term is amazing! Good job on you getting that degree and certs 😀. I’m interested in this university as well. You’ll get a job soon. Another thing I’d recommend is to try internships or connect with people who work in IT since they might have cybersecurity positions open.
Thanks for advice
So absolutely proud of you and you’re gonna rule the world…. While keeping our info safe.😊
Congratulations!!
This is a great video! I’ve been watching videos about WGU and learned things from your video that other people didn’t say, I especially like that you explained how it works and how many hours you spent working on your degree. Thank you!
No problem glad it helped
Congrats my firend. Greetings from Germany
So stoked to be starting in a few months once I have the money saved up to do so. Congrats on getting that degree and staying debt free! Neither one is an easy achievement these days, let alone both.
You got this!
Congrats! I’m hoping to do the same starting April 1st. Trying to add more credits pushed my start timeline😢. Hongera..
That’s better tbh once you start you’ll have less credits to do
You worked really fast! I think i put in like 3-4 hours a day and still finish 1 class each month. I just started but Poli Sci and Math Alg 2 WGU making me take is a lot.
Keep going you’ll finish!!
How did it go?!
Wow....... Really interested in this story....👍
Its this video that made me officially decide to sign up for WGU! Thanks for the inspiration brother.
That’s great!
Congratulations ✨🙌🙌🙌
Thank you!!
that intro with the notes and certs was bad ass
Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!
Congratulations Adeer
You definitely have motivated me to finish school.
if you could make videos about your experience in each class, how long it took you and the resources you used, would be appreciated. Thanks for this vid man
I was just admitted to wgu majoring in elementary education. I start November 1st. Very excited!
Just watched this. Love your editing style. Never seen someone flex a certificate and a degree on me lmao. Yeah I figured about WGU about 2 days ago, have been really considering starting in April and applying soon. Honestly don't know if I want to pick cybersecurity or software engineering, still deciding.
Thank you! Tough decision but either one is good.
Interesting video . Was your experience finding a job pretty smooth after WGU program ?
Just stumbled across this bro! Thank you for the info if you ever had the time would love to have a conversation on this as I am highly interested in going this route 👀
When you want to test out early, do you have to take every test in person or is that only for the certificates?
Great video, thank you. I subscribed to your channel. Any luck on job searches?
Good stuff man, I'm on the same path now....after halk of a military career
Congratulations!! Can you do an job search update in the future? About to start the Cloud Computing degree at WGU!
Gotchu bro
Great job
Congratulations to you man! Yeah it's okay for the people from the USA! international students don't have the opportunity., when i went to sign up..
Wish we had this in Australia. Coming to University after working for a decade, I couldn’t believe how inefficient things were.
im in australia too that sucks that it isn't an option but im pretty sure there plenty of others options here
Congratulations babe on getting your bachelor's degree
Fire intro 🔥🔥
Nice job my guy 👏👏👏
Thx
Congratulations
Where im at right now close to completing my associates degree in cybersecurity at MDC would this be good option for me *if i decide to go for my bachelors
Congratulations!
Thank you!
How do you feel about the IT management Business degree? I’m not a school person either and seeing you do it motivated me bro. I currently go to an online college right now and going to transfer to WGU. I’m thinking about taking courses at Sophia first too since I heard it’s easier on there. Hopefully I can finish in one term too. What were some study tips you did everyday?
I don't have much knowledge regarding that degree cuz I never took it but its probably good! Sophia will most def help you lessen the amount of classes you gotta take once you start wgu. Study tips- use note cards, write things down on paper, say things out loud to help with retention. Be resourceful! Utilize reddit and search up class codes like "D234 wgu reddit" so look for postings of people who did the same class you are working on and see what they did. Pace yourself when studying. Take breaks and go for walks so you don't get burned out
@@danigan9564 thanks brooo
Great job bro
Thanks!
Congrats bro! what was the learning experience like?
What’s a solid plan to get your masters degree within 5 months?
How many hours did you put a day and did you work while doing this?
Congratulations on getting your degree! I’m kinda on a similar journey as you since I dropped out and am looking to go back for something in IT. Did you have any credits transfer from your old college too that carried over to WGU?
I only transferred 3 classes worth of credits and and then google It support certificate that’s it
@@danigan9564 wow that’s crazy you went into the program with a clean slate basically. i wish best of luck to you, you clearly have a great work ethic. if you could do any follow-up videos on if you land a job that would be cool!
@@notliv5918 I will soon thanks!
That's awesome! Im at the beginning of my journey of wgu doing my cybersecurity and testing out of classes before I enroll!
@@danigan9564 I have a question. If WGU doesn't have a GPA, how come it has a grading policy about whether you succeed or fail? I've been doing a lot of research and I feel like I want to get a bachelor's in either IT or English in less than a year at WGU and I want to use the degree to get me into a masters in library science at a state university in my home state as a admission requirement. The masters program says I would need a bachelors from a regionally accredited school with a GPA of 3.0 or greater
Congratulations 👏🎉
Thanks 💯
I’m thinking about WGU I’m currently enrolled in a community college but at the same time we have it online and the professors put on lecture but I don’t watch it and just self learn just not sure about the transferring cred etc
Would you recommend the cyber security degree or IT general? I really want the cybersecurity degree but some are saying it’s too specific how hard was it for you to get a decent job after? Thanks!
Well if you care reading my msg I would say get into business administration or project management. None of these IT guys are making more than 50k a year. And if they are, there’s not a lot of positions available for the amount of graduates in the field. I am a former IT tech and I wasn’t earning that much. So I got into business and now I am doing well. I am a manager at a manufacturing company and I earn good money.
Nice !!
Glad I found you thank you for the vid. Quick question which one is considered harder web development or cyber security ? And how much did these 6 months cost you ?
I only took the cyber degree so I cannot give you input on whether the web development degree is harder. 4K per 6 months
@@danigan9564 thanks
bro our stories are so similar, im a current montgomery college student in my second term of freshman year and i am so lost. fist semester was kinda bad i wasnt focused and really distracted and i was just on auto pilot.i think im gonna do it. btw did you manage to get a job ?
i wanna get my bachelors degree but dont know how to start or where to apply
Congratulations to the grit, and perseverance, that you pushed through. But how did you get done with CompTIA Certs withing 5 months?!?! Maybe another video for those certifications and exam tips?
Maybe I should 👀
@@danigan9564 please do cause I’m taking notes!
yo what if you have no credits how can you do this from out of highschool?
I’m glad you showing the work cause the rest of these TH-camrs using it as click bait to launch their sorry TH-cam
Gotta keep it real
To get into the program you have to have a cert?
Great video!! I am currently a student at a local Community College where I've earned 24 credits, but due to not passing my math courses twice there's a possibility that I may not be able to complete my Associate's degree program. I came across WGU two years ago, and was impress with the option to obtain a degree in 6 months. How was the transfer of credits process with WGU?
The school is pretty generous when it comes to transferring credits as compared to other schools.
HE DID IT!!!
Great video man! I"m 25 and currently 2 years into a completely different career. I've been looking into this a lot and really considering pivoting into cybersecurity (it's always peaked my interest). I would still need to work full time so it might take me 2 terms. What are your thoughts? Were you working when you did this, and do you think it's realistic to finish in 1 term while working full time?
How fast you finish depends on how much time you allocate to study. Also how many credits you bring into the institution that help you reduce your workload. Since you are working full time . You’ll definitely have to MAKE time. Especially on the days when you just wanna chill after work. Maybe 1-2 hours of study Or go hard on the weekends. It’s gonna suck. But if you can muscle through. I think anywhere from 1-1.5 years is possible. I was not working at all. Doing school full time.
That helps a lot! Thanks man!@@danigan9564
I’m in Canada, can I enrol into the school?
Let’s goooo 🔥🔥🔥.
good video bro, did you utilize what i see some people doing where they use outside websites like sophia to complete classes then transfer the credits into wgu or did you just do everything straight from wgu? just trying to see how people like you did it so i can plan my path early and have the most efficient way. thanks man!
I didn’t even know about Sophia learning when I started only used credits from my previous college as transfer credit. Total I had only like 4 classes that I skipped. The rest I grinded
@@danigan9564 i appreciate the quick reply, you really worked your ass off no doubt. thanks for the info my man.
im currently a junior in highschool and i really want to enroll in wgu particually cybersecurity. Do you think if i complete a google it certifcate thoroughout my highschool year i could get into wgu without college?
Yo, kiddo.. you should be able to take CC courses now while attending HS or during breaks. Just getting the general requirements out of the way will help, so you can focus on getting through your major. It doesn't hurt to study some code on the side, tho or yeah, get a certificate... but seriously, getting the general requirements out of the way is the best. Some AP courses might qualify too, so check with WGU.
Congrats!
thanks!
@@danigan9564 You earned it. Some sweet editing btw.
@@T-rexdestructions yes suhhh
that beat at the beginning was hard af
Hey gang, does WGU allow give you like A's and B's or do you get like Pass or Fail? Thinking about going there for most of my credits then transfering out to a traditional university 🤔
it's pass/fail.
Hey man did wbu offer to let you walk the stage ?
Great content, did you have any IT experience before starting this program? I'm in the process to getting my Google IT support.
