I am mostly a Linux administrator, so the A+ and LPI certs are not worth it to me. I guess I am looking for more of a focused/direct path and I see the certs as a "monkey wrench" being thrown at me. The certs don't look particularly hard at all, but seems way more generalized than what I would like.
Another way to think about this - if the certifications are easier for you, then it will be faster to work through that portion of the degree. There's no requirement to advertise that you're A+/Net+/Sec+/LPI/ITIL certified. However, they are worth 19% of a WGU degree, so why not just pass the test, collect the degree, and move on?
