I am so close to submitting this monster 25 page paper / project, and I am so looking forward to thinking about anything else for a while. I think tonight's the night after some edits. #csed #wgu

I don't really stress about assessment evaluation except when I catch it having moved from "in queue" to "in evaluation" and then I enter a pretty quick refresh loop waiting for the results. #wgu

Joining Mastodon/Fediverse again to build some more online presence.

I'm Robert, I'm a Bachelor's in IT student at #WGU graduating this month and moving into a Master's in IT Management this August.

I'll mainly talk about #linux, #tech, #foss, #opensource, and occasionally #macos.

Building work experience for now with a short term goal of becoming a System Administrator, and a long term goal of becoming a CIO.

Only the capstone remains in my #wgu #computerscience degree. Looking forward to wrapping up this degree: I dropped out to work in my senior year during my first attempt.

About two months ago, WGU switched from Examity to ProctorU / Meazure for proctoring and it has been an unmitigated disaster on every possible level. WGU has been extremely unresponsive to any complaints or attempts to work out an in-person proctoring solution.

I've had two of the ProctorU exams so far and it's intolerable. I'm not looking forward to spending upward of an hour and a half ruining my room, then a minimum of 30 minutes dealing with ProctorU's nonsense, followed by the exam, and then 45 minutes fixing my room.

Apart from the issues of the proctors making up rules and being general jerks during a session, what the ProctorU software does on computers should probably be against the law.

Something I never thought I would do I did today. I put in my 2 weeks without something already lined up. So with that I am open to work. #personaltime #opentowork #techjobs #cybersecurity #infosec #informationsecurity #WGU

## In-Person
Pros
- Clubs
- Can have in-person classes that allows me to focus better
- In-person graduation

Cons
- More expensive, per credit
- Might be hard to get accepted
- Only a degree, no certifications
- Need to commute
- Rigid in scheduling

#WGU #continuingeducation #college #students #infosec #ADHD

## WGU
Pros
- Much cheaper, charged per term
- Degree program + about a dozen certifications
- Prepares me more for jobs, more direct
- College starts on the first of every month
- Should be relatively easy to get accepted
- Could potentially get a degree in very little time
- Self-paced

Cons
- No in-person classes
- Rely on self-discipline (might be tricky with my ADHD)
- Some jobs might still prefer degrees from traditional colleges
- No graduation walk
- No clubs
- No meeting people outside of classes

I now have an A.S. degree in Computer Science, and I want to get my bachelor's degree somewhere. I have found 2-3 choices, and I'd like some input. I can either go to WGU, or I can go to NJIT or Rutgers.

For WGU, I can get the B.S. in Cybersecurity, or if I go to NJIT/Rutgers, I can get a degree in either Cybersecurity or Information Technology.

Which would be a good choice? (I'll also drop a pros and cons between the two in the comments)
