@@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?
Hey man very happy for you. I feel stupid but have no idea how to build individual classes or whats what. I just want the 120 credits for a basic Bachelor from an regional accredited college. How do you know what classes cover what areas?@@danigan9564
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.
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?
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
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 .
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
bro i do not know you personally im going through the same thing right now and im thinking about going to WGU for a degree in business, i want to say thank you for this video
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!!
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
What would someone recommend for me between WGU Comp Sci or WGU Software Eng? I just graduated high school this year, and I took a gap semester but am looking into WGU. I want to do something with coding and am very interested in web development right now, but I want to keep my options open (not just web development) for the future. I don't want to not be able to apply to some job because I don't have a comp sci degree. Software Eng seems more fun and enjoyable, but will skipping the math come back to haunt me later? Before deciding whether to do a computer science or software engineering degree at WGU or even WGU, I have several questions. What is the difference between the software engineering degree (I would do the Java Track) and the computer science degree at WGU? I see many differences, and I would like to know the nuances between the two. a. Why does the computer science degree require way more math than the software engineering one? The classes later in the degree don't seem to use this math too much, so why does it require calculus one and discrete math one and two when software engineering only requires algebra? How is this math utilized, and will I miss out on not having it if I go for the software engineering degree?
b. When using the compare button on the main page, why does the computer science degree only take 24 months to complete (on average), while the software engineering degree takes 35 months to complete (on average)? The more challenging classes seem to be in the computer science degree (calculus and discrete math), so the two extra courses that software engineering has shouldn't take an additional 11 months. How long could I expect it to take for me as a full-time student?
c. On that same page, it says that the average salary increase for someone with a WGU computer science degree is $17,691 compared to only $10,019 for someone with a WGU software engineering degree. Why is this? What is the significant difference in jobs between these two degrees that would cause such a disparity in salary increases? What are jobs that one would be able to get that other wouldn't (and vise versa)?
d. Overall, what is the difference between these two degrees? e. Which degree would you recommend? Which would look better for employers or graduate universities if I tried to get into the coding space? Which would look better for graduate schools? I would probably be going for a master's in computer science if I go for my master's since it's hard to find a master's in software engineering online (or something still related to computers but not computer science).
Simply judging by your interest in web development, I would tell you to do their "Software Engineering" degree. Yes, skipping math will only haunt you because its harder to retain information as you get older, simple biology. The overt differences in a simple explanation is that Computer Science is an actual science that's derived from mathematics and Software Engineering is an industry term that some schools use to differentiate the math/physics heavy Compsci Degree from their CODING heavy "Software Engineer" Program. In academia, you will see mostly "Computer Science", "Computer Engineering" or "Information Technology" So the confusion is not only in what is actually taught in the discipline but in the reality that these certain schools, like WGU have crafted an even more niche degree for those seeking a direct path to CODING jobs. a. Computer Science was originally a MATHEMATICS degree. See the requirements for a math degree. Science majors are expected to go on and get their master and Ph.d's. So, ALL the math for computing since the beginning of time is a requirement to be an actual computer scientist. As the technologies improved and the computer revolution took place, this became the most common degree for those working in the field. Now "computers" are in everything. An even more scientific understanding is needed. Simply put, math is behind all the languages and coding used but its calculated in an instant. All of the original Nasa people were Math/Physics majors. Now we're in the A.I revolution... b. Going back to the rigor, respect and industry standard of a Computer Science degree, I think the people pursing it are more math/science astute, more serious/disciplined, have a specific goal within the industry and are probably already in the industry. c. Again, this is more of an industry stat based on WGU's graduates. They have more determined, skilled and serious people going after that degree...probably with the specific goal to command more money. Someone doing specifically "Software Engineering" is probably new to the industry and not understanding how to command more money or that Computer Science is simply a more common degree in the field.. The Computer Science major is going to be able to circumnavigate the entire industry(especially with a Masters/Ph.d)...as long as their knowledge is up to date. Learning Linux Admin on top of Devops can get you that extra 7k tho. d. Math(Cal 1-3, Discreet Math) and Physics...remember, think beyond computers. How would having specific Physics knowledge control Rocket, a Tesla or Save Energy on a Washing Machine? That's computer Science major stuff. Those findings would be translated for teams of coders to make the machine do what we want it to do. Also, A computer Science degree is the default degree for certain team lead and manager roles in some companies policies, not all. e. Computer Science for the Masters and tract of being a Scientist. Software Engineering if you want to be a coding wizard and able to tackle any type of project. Hopefully now you see why you cant find a Software Engineering Masters Online..most just have certifications or the experience in the field or a Computer Science Degree. To sum it all up...computer science is its own specialized field...however the entire industry request and honor it as a generalist type of degree for engineers, programmers, coders as well. Software Engineering is a subniche of Computer science but is broad as well as there are various different languages. You're in the A.I era now, take that in consideration with your studies too. Always study the industry trends and think ahead 5-20+ years.
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.
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
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.
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.
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!
I started my program in BS in IT in july of last year. Going well so far, I'm certainly not accelerating lol. And I'm not even expecting to make more than 25 an hour once I'm done. The tech field kinda sucks right now...
I want to get a bachelor's degree online to be a history teacher does anyone know the fastest time I can do that? I'm willing to get a 5 year bachelor degree but does a 5 month bachelor degree hold the same weight as a 5 year one?
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
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 ?
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?
@@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!
@@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
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
Congrats on finishing your degree! 🎉
Thanks! 🙏🏾 good luck on yours

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
yo what if you have no credits how can you do this from out of highschool?
i wanna get my bachelors degree but dont know how to start or where to apply
why is my wgu degree plan showing 2026 grad date--please can someone help me clarify this
I’m in Canada, can I enrol into the school?
I started my program in BS in IT in july of last year. Going well so far, I'm certainly not accelerating lol. And I'm not even expecting to make more than 25 an hour once I'm done. The tech field kinda sucks right now...
that beat at the beginning was hard af
Congratulations!! Can you do an job search update in the future? About to start the Cloud Computing degree at WGU!
Gotchu bro
I want to get a bachelor's degree online to be a history teacher does anyone know the fastest time I can do that? I'm willing to get a 5 year bachelor degree but does a 5 month bachelor degree hold the same weight as a 5 year one?
WGU, check them out.
That hertz jacket smh, long live erac
That intro beat go hard
pls how can i get free scholarship to study a degree program at WGU?
Look at the scholarships they got on their website or call the school n ask them about scholarships
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
When you want to test out early, do you have to take every test in person or is that only for the certificates?
Fire intro 🔥🔥
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 ?
Can u please make a video on the starting salary of a wgu student once u find a job? Thanx
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
Nah good stuff bro
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
