    Some of the courses are extremely long (College Algebra, Pre-Calculus, and Discrete Math) all took me 30-40hrs each to complete. Good thing is some of the lessons in one math class may transfer over to another, lowering the amount of quizzes needed to finish.

    @nolongerinuse488 3 года назад +9

    Again, I really appreciate you making these videos.
    I have a few questions, if you feel comfortable answering them. If not, that is ok too.
    1. Do you feel as though jobs may look at you different from getting degrees in such a short time? Or do you feel like the time it takes to get the degree isn't relevant? I know people have their stigma about not going the for the degree as long as you do traditionally, but honestly, I wouldn't even be considering a degree if it wasn't for a place like WGU. Does "start date and graduation date" come into conversion of the interview when they ask about your degree, and how do you go about that? I am hoping to avoid that conversation if the stigma is as big as the internet makes it seem.
    2. With all the degrees that you've obtained at WGU (and I know that you have years of experience behind it), but do you notice a significant increase in income due to those degrees? Do you also see a faster response from jobs after applying? And I guess that will lead me to: do you think while in pursuit of the degree, that companies are more likely to respond to you rather than if you weren't attending WGU at all? I already have the experience (will be doing the Bachelor's for Cloud Computing) but it seems that I will need the degree just to get the doors somewhat open for me. Due to my name being Pharaoh, I probably get to face some name discrimination behind the scenes; however, I would like to cross off all the check marks I can to increase my chances of getting the jobs.
    I still plan on going to WGU regardless and will start my classes on December 1st instead of November 1st, so I can transfer as many credits as possible. But I just wanted to ask you because you have more clarification, and my friends who went to college, graduated a long time ago (and also not in tech). I didn't know if there would necessarily be a difference since that scenario is a different career field. My counselor has also told me one thing, yet another counselor I spoke to (since he was unavailable) had some contradicting answers to what I had originally been given. It reminded me of the stress that I remember feeling when trying to apply to college straight out of high school lol.
    Thanks again, for whatever info and help you can relay, Josh.

      Sorry, one more question! Was it hard for you to correlate the classes on the excel sheet for what's needed in the degrees? Depending on how this goes, I plan on doing the MBA Information Technology Management, Data Analytics, or the MS Information Technology Management. (Especially since the MBA and MS ITM is 10/11 courses). The Data Analytics would be great too, but probably not "as easy".

      @JoshMadakor  3 года назад +11

      Hey Pharaoh!
      1. I haven't really had any problems with my WGU degrees, the timeline RARELY comes up. It has only come up once in my lifetime and it was my coworker asking me about it after I was already hired. It's never come up in interviews. On my resume, I don't put "from" dates, I only put the date that I graduated. When I'm forced to put a "from" date on a job form or something, I will just be truthful and put it in. Even for my MS, which i finished in 12 days, lmao. I wouldn't say there is any stigma associated with it since IT doesn't even require degrees in the first place--they are just kind of an extra icing on the cake. Skill/exp is usually paramount.
      2. I get a LOT of job spam from recruiters. Usually more than one per day. I'm not 100% sure if I can attribute it to my degrees, or my experience, or what, but it's likely a package deal between all those things and keyword hits on my resume/linkedin profile. Also, the thing you said about your name...My actual name is "Nnamdi" but I don't go by it because it's so foreign and people (as well as myself) don't even know how to pronounce it. Discrimination is real, that's partially why I go by Josh and don't even put my legal name on my resume. I actually had a coworker named Mohammad that changed his name to a super American sounding name to avoid the discrimination. I'm hoping it becomes less and less in the future, but we'll see. Btw, I'm not telling you to get a nickname lol. I'm just acknowledging the concern :)

      Thanks for getting back to me, again!
      I think for me, they are probably more likely to ask how long I've been attending since I plan on applying to some positions while in pursuit of the degree. Kinda hoping not, because I don't want them to think I'm a "beginner". It's been a conundrum of "we want you to have a degree" vs "we want you to have skills." So, now I will have both (hopefully really soon) and I hope there won't be an excuse not to hire me. (Although, I think it's weird going into an interview and then being told that. It's not like it's a surprise since they have my application and resume?) lol
      I understand on the discrimination part. I was actually hoping you didn't have a story like that, but I'm happy that you shared. I don't want to pick a name, but I did anyway, because I don't have the luxury to wait for people to get over their discrimination. I currently use "Harvey", but it annoying now. Going on two years that I've been using it. Part of me feels like "if they don't want to hire me because of my name, then I don't want to work for them," but I can't really combat that scenario when I have bills to pay.
      I don't plan on changing my name; however, if I did, it still wouldn't be anything that would make them choose me (probably anime related). But maybe once your foot is in the door, you can go back to your name? I'm hoping that's the case for me.
      With that being said, if you have to show your degrees as proof, does it have "Josh" on it, or your birth name? And does it come into question? I would think it would be inappropriate for them to ask "why is it different" (some legalities somewhere, Title VII)

    Do you know of any sites to prep to complete classes and taking CLEP exams for gen Ed (college level examination program) . I ask because with CLEP you can transfer those credits to any college or most state or universities. Since with study only select schools take those credits .

    • @JoshMadakor
      @JoshMadakor  2 года назад

      In study.com, all the quizzes are really short, like 3-5 questions each if I recall. You also can retake them 3x and it will take your highest score. I just take them once, research the answers to learn it, then take it again and hope I get a higher score lol. Also, when you're looking at which classes from study.com match to WGU, often it will show MANY classes that match. It's not saying you have to do all of them, I believe it's just letting you know which classes at study.com satisfy the WGU class, so you can just choose one. I'd double-check, but I'm 99% certain this is the case. Hope it helps!

      It looks like you can do this if you withdraw from WGU. You have to go through the enrollment processes again though (which isn't the worst thing in the world). Check out this thread: www.reddit.com/r/WGU/comments/hor0kf/transfer_credits_after_withdrawal/
