Thank you for that!
No children but yes full time job that has flexible hours.
No computer networking experience at all... hoping to learn.
From the input here I think I need to take full advantage of all the SDC classes before starting WGU to maximize my opportunity of completing it in 1 semester.

If I'm you, I'm going to 1) reconsider the IT Management part, and consider a BS in Business Management to make things easier; and 2) transfer in the maximum number of courses. 55 credits in a single 6-month term is a lot.
If you still want the IT Management, then I'm going to get a foundation going of some IT experience - maybe several computer courses from Sophia, or Study.com, and maybe the Google IT certificate. Anything to make the IT portion easier (for me, that would be the hard part of this degree since I have zero experience in that).

I agree with defrecore. WGU is designed for those who have experience and knowledge already especially when it comes to anything in the IT field. I would go the BS in BM and then after I complete the degree, I'd get some training on my own. Then I would apply for one of the grad degrees in IT. There are 2 options for a grad degree in IT management.
