How long did it take you?

[JTP]

***Relatively Short Timer in comparison***

I graduated high school in 2008 and had the opportunity to take 5 engineering courses while there. I went to a local brink and mortar university and due to uncertainty I ended up having 5 different majors in 6 years.

Life got hectic and I was offered a fulltime IT job if I could get a low level certificate. I dropped the courses I was enrolled in and studied non stop for two weeks and passed the exam. Having liked the self study I just experienced I looked into more advanced certifications that would advance my career and my happenstance allow me to test out of courses for school. In June 2014 I started looking into CLEP/DSST exams and stumbled upon this forum and by September I had 27 credits from various alternate forms. At the end of that summer COSC also announced their Cybersecurity program and the timing felt right so I applied and started chipping away at the program.

Fast forward to now and (assuming no surprises pop up), I will have my BS awarded August 31.
