I have a BA in Elementary Education studies. I did it in 3.5 years. I'm now back for my Masters in Special Education. I love WGU! I'm in my second year for teaching in my own classroom.
sir, thank for your video. you really motivated someone living in south Korea. i decided to take classes from WGU and follow your career path. Please keep sharing your experience. Thank you again.
Former Sr. Mentor from the MSCSIA program and so delighted to have stumbled on your video. You really said the magic words ... "for the right person", as I totally agree that competency-based is not for everyone, but for some... HOMERUN on the savings $$$. Cheers to you sir on your journey. Peace and respect to all
I graduated from WGU last year with my bachelor in cybersecurity and information assurance. It’s a great program and learned lots. I got a job as an analyst after getting my Sec+ through the program. Couldn’t recommend it enough if you’re good at time management and being self driven.
That’s great. I’m considering pursuing a BS in Cybersecurity. I was wondering if it was possible to get a job in cybersecurity with no IT experience. Did you have previous IT experience and if not , what helped you land your first job as a cybersecurity analyst?
Awesome. I also have this degree and am currently in the Masters program. I also have CISSP. Personally, if I could have gone back in time, I would get a bachelors in Computer Science instead of the Bachelors in Cybersecurity and Information Assurance. After the computer science bachelors, I’d go for the masters in cybersecurity and information assurance. In the masters program, you’ll get every certification that actually matters for DoD 8570 and then have better opportunities later
Just saw this video, but I'm with you on WGU! It is worth it for someone who is willing to grind through the course. I did my BS in Software Development in two years. I got my job as a Software Engineer after my first semester. It's a fantastic university, and truly equips you with certifications, projects, and real world applicable knowledge!
I did a term of WGU for software development then went Navy Cyber warfare Technician now I am about to finish wgu cyber degree and have SANS GWAPT among probably 9 other certs all free + you get a ton of work experience in offense or defense or malware analyzing / development. You have great hours and never go on a ship. If you go officer CWE its even better.
@@dylandodds-bs8xg calm down I’m just asking questions. You said free+ton of work experience. Is that solely from your navy job? Was that job obtained from your term at gyu?
@@kanoho2803 my bad it just came off as hostile, sorry I misinterpreted you comment. To be honest with you wgu sucks at teaching you anything and its hard because its on you to find material that will in some cases. However, The navy had a school called JCAC that you go through for like 7 months that was super hard and high stakes if you fail you loose your job and possibly will be cleaning ships or some other intel role. They taught you a lot of practical stuff to cyber it was pretty awesome and me personally I like high stakes. Its 17 different classes that are really fun. Then when you pass and go to the fleet which is typically for cwts at a government agency on land in the US. You then depending on what they put you in could be defense, forensics, or offense I just wanted to become a officer and do even cooler things with programming specifically so I went to wgu because I already know all of this stuff and I have pretty much almost finished my degree in one term with a new baby and a one year old being broke and working at the same time so its very doable.
@@kanoho2803 sorry for some reason my other reply didnt go through or something. I got most of it from the Navy none from WGU. WGU is only good if you already have experience or your a really good self study.
Great to know about WGU, thought about the masters program last year. Going to check out the pentester in 10 months video as I come to the last half of my bootcamp 😁

Associate of ISC2, not full CISSP but still. WGU was excellent prep for that

Whoa, 7 months??? That's great!
Thank you for this information
5:20 😏 what camp ⛺️
Definitely reccomend the BSCSIA to anyone who has some sort of tuition assistance!
Why
Please explain
is it possible for people to do this in 6 months? Especially with no prior knowledge in IT?
I am currently enrolled and it’s a Great School
