BS IT Security at Western Governors University (WGU BSITSECU) Strategy help

[timmmay]

Just wanted to follow up on this fine Christmas day. I passed my final class at WGU two days ago. It took me just under 8 months to complete the program there. I came away with a bunch of certifications and a renewed disinterest for writing papers. I've even come across some members from this site that are currently kicking ass in the Cybersecurity program at WGU. Overall it has been an incredible experience for me. I appreciate the format of the education they offer. I have kids, a job, a busy life, but I also have years of experience that allowed me to "accelerate" my progress. It was a fantasy that I was sure would never happen for me, but after accidentally stumbling across this website and it's active community, I'm now a college graduate. I started to realize that I was doing it for my kids, as much as I was for myself. As far back as I can go on my mom's side of the family, not one person went past highschool, if they made it that far. My dad's mom had a nursing degree, and she was the only one I could find who went to college. It's a strange feeling, but I'm so glad that I decided to go for it. If anyone has any questions about my experience at WGU, feel free to ask. And again I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to this community!
