Google promised they would be considered as degrees and now that I am actually nearly done with my BA I can't believe they made such a bold claim, and I believed it. These meta ones seem better, also I think they are better for the people who already work at meta and want to upskill. Not saying people should not pursue them, but I am saying in the workforce my coursera cert meant nothing.

A Google cert that you could get in one week considered a degree?

No, it was their six month google project manager certificate. That was Google's claim by the way, not mine.

Certs, Degree, Experience.  I have never heard anyone mention Coursera Certs (or any other certs combined) would equal a degree.  Maybe they meant the information learned would be part of a degree plan if they incorporated the courses or certs into one.  Or the info learned would be similar to a concentration/minor of a degree.

I agree with you. But that was Google's claim at the time, here is the most reputable article about it: https://www.inc.com/justin-bariso/google...alyst.html

This is the new way I am looking at it now, unless it gives me some type of credit that a college would accept, I will likely skip.
