Understood. I'm not trying to be adversarial in this discussion, so hopefully it isn't coming across that way. It's just my professional opinion, unless you are an AWS pro and have those specific certs, there isn't a way to split that degree that you're not spending a ton of time on them. I've know AWS pros that strike out on it. If someone is only out to WGU for a quick check-the-check-box degree, BS IT is easy with basic CompTIA certs and some HTML5/CSS/Javascript. The last three can be useful no matter where your taking them, and quick. A BSIT degree will get you the same interview that an BSSA degree will, and will probably be better on the HR-algorithms. If I end up the WGU route, it's how I'm taking it. Wasting hard time on the AWS Sysops if you aren't using it in the next three years isn't the most effective strategy to check that box.
