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

[rachel83az]

No! It is not worth it. You can get everything he claims in his course, and more, for free here.

I met with Ryan Swayt and am debating using his program.  I plan on enrolling in WGU with next to no transfer credits and am hoping to graduate with a Bachelors in Business in less than one year with allocating about 20 hrs a week to school.  Can this be done?  Is anyone familiar with details specifically on how at WGU?

If you're starting with no transfer credits, what you want to do is going to be incredibly difficult. Especially if you're following a plan that is at least somewhat out of date.

<facepalm> I keep getting spam from this guy Ryan Swayt, OMG, the info he provides is just not fully correct and up to date... Skip! You just need to follow through with the WGU plans we have already in place, many have completed within the year or less...

Where can I get visibility to the WGU plans in place to finish within a year or less?

All the information you need is in my signature, the last three lines have all the links to the Degree Plans, WIKI, etc.

Do you have any alternative recommendations that could help me accomplish this goal?  Perhaps a different route?

Question: Do you have any alternative recommendations that could help me accomplish this goal?  Perhaps a different route?

Answer: Fill in the addendum/template on your newest thread for degree planning advice. We usually would recommend, UMPI/WGU for those interested in competency based degree options. For those who want max transfer credit, it'll be Excelsior/TESU. Without knowing your situation more, it's really hard to tell.

Never pay anyone for free information. Youtube videos are fine but as soon as they start offering "consults", they move into the grifter category.

I'm grateful for what I'm able to accomplish with all of the free info all of you share. Thing is, for a bunch of people, browsing and parsing all of this material to assemble their own plan isn't something they're comfortable with. They seek ready-made complete solutions instead of the participatory and interactive plan development we practice here. For those people, paying for some kind of course or package that claims to accomplish their goals may be attractive.
As many of you know, once you've posted a decent amount of degree hacking content here and on other platforms, you'll receive frequent PMs seeking questions and advice. The senders generally could achieve their objectives using the free public info, or post a public thread using our templates, but for whatever reason they won't or can't do so. My personal policy is that I'm happy to help in public; from the view counts here I know that my threads and posts here reach hundreds or thousands of people. That contribution helps pay things forward and keep the community going. However, I'm not very willing to provide detailed private help for free. I often direct those people to post a public thread. Increasingly, I outright ignore senders displaying minimal to no effort and expecting me to do a lot of work for them. I'm about to start sending those people a payment link to select the level of detail they want and provide an appropriate amount of compensation upfront.
