Is Ryan Swayt's Degree hacking course worth 1k?

[ss20ts]

No, it is not worth it.  Even if it was updated information, they likely took it all the information from this forum. You can get all you need to know for Free right here.

But... today only you can pay $1000 instead of $2500..  Kidding of course... I thought the high pressure tactic something has to be unrealistic.

Hey I'll give you an even better deal....Only $500 plus $19.95 shipping and handling. Today Only. Act Now! This offer expires at midnight and will not be repeated. Once it's gone, it's gone forever. Said in my best Billy Mays impression.

Hmm, I'll beat freeloader and ss20ts, I'll make it $520 a combination of their pricing... Plus, as I mentioned earlier, YouTuber's don't really give you feedback/follow up, we...err, I do!  So, send that to me right away! BTW, Offer is also today only, and please take the time to do the addendum/template.  I already have a plan for you, it'll work, but with more details, it'll be better and more personalized...

How dare you lowball us!

Makes me want to channel my inner Mitch Hedberg: I will do this deal with you. There will be 3 easy payments and one really f***ing hard payment.

Tell us what credits you have, and the degree you want, and we'll tell you how to get it for the best possible price - and we'll do it for free.

So I have to add a little context here. I did try to re-kindle my attempt at an education I ended up enlisting in UoPeople everything went okay at first however the pace was very slow and grindy. They had some credits that were transferred below but after the first two classes one with a B and one with a D (programming class was very difficult I mostly got a good grades with my tests but could not endure the emotional essay part of the programming class and I missed a few tests that the schedule did not allow me to make up) my work schedule was intense. After taking a leave of absence they may have shadow-banned me by not allowing re-enrolment. My work is awesome it touches EVERY Aerospace major company in that field I'm supporting people that work with all of the major players from Boeing, SpaceX, Lockheed Martin, Blue Origin to Airbus. Who gets to do that but my salary isn't enough to host a family in Southern California. I'm tying to seal up this salary gap and take on a management role after 32 years of IT experience. 

This is what I was able to transfer.

 But are the payments just $19.99?

@fuse, you haven't provided the name of the institution you went to... Anyways, You know what, you've got the bulk of the experience, now's the time to get a quick Associates, Bachelors and if you wanted, a Masters. Why not go for a Pierpont BOG AAS, ladder that up to UMPI BAS with a minor or two, then do the WGU MSML or MBA, unless you want to do UMPI MAOL or HAU MBA for $3K... All of these are Regionally Accredited, skip the Nationally Accredited options unless they are at the doctorate level.

[Fuse]

No... frankly if you are not willing enough to dig up info on your own here on this forum and put a plan together you might not have what it takes to 'hack' a degree...

Lets agree to disagree.

Thank You it's a great start but I think I made a CLEP plan I'm primarily going to try to follow this plan here https://degreehackers.org/page/

[rachel83az]

Wow, that page has some REALLY outdated information on it. Sophia hasn't offered those classes free for 2-3 years. TESU has had a cornerstone (not just a capstone) for 5-8 years.

If you want an English degree from TESU, there are easier/cheaper options now than what he describes.

Hmm... Following that plan is going to be the opposite of cheap, easy, fast, and there is no ROI/Value in that page as the info is at least 4-5 years out of date. You can try following that older route, but it's going to drag on... No wonder you were looking at these YouTubers for help! In that page, the person spent roughly $8K...

Guess how much my suggestion would have cost you? You're trying to look for shortcuts all these years, many members who are younger or older than you followed through with my suggestions and have completed their Bachelors/Masters for less than that $8K (or very close to that pricing for both a Bachelors and Masters).

Again, please follow the addendum/template, as I mentioned in my first post reply to you, armed with more details, we can help you more... complete the addendum/template as short and concise as you can, you've waited this long to get this goal of yours completed, why not provide the details on your situation so we can help.

SO outdated.  I mean, years out of date.  Don't do it.

[ss20ts]

$8K?? YIKES! You can go to Sophia and UMPI for under $4K if you spend 2 sessions at UMPI. It's less than half. This plan is soooo outdated. $20 to transfer each Sophia class? They haven't done that since before the pandemic started in March 2020. Such old outdated info.
