WGU is an ontrack accredited university. Basically how it works is instead of paying credit, you are basically paying time. So, you pay for one semester at a time which is about six months. Then, depending on the program, you will only pay about thirty-five hundred to four thousand dollars per semester or six months.
Basically how it works is that you can complete as many courses as you like in that six month timeframe. If you are highly intelligent and strategic, and you happen to complete your entire degree in that six month time period, then you have just earned a bachelor's degree.
Comparison between current and new network security and engineering degreesThen we go into a current network operations security degree and compare it to a new network engineering and security degree. We can see a spreadsheet in this section. So let's take a look at that. Basically, in the left-hand column these are the current network operations and security degrees and in the right-hand column these are new network engineering and security degrees.
There are a few differences, but the main thing that really stands out is that there seem to be less common classes on new network engineering and security degrees. So, in current engineering and network security degrees we have more English compositions, but in new network engineering and security degrees, we have a large amount of discrete mathematics with algorithms and cryptography. There is more programming and difficult technical classes in the new networking engineering and security degree.
Network and security engineering path at WGUNext we will look at the two tracks of network engineering and security side by side. As seen in the image below! The left side here will be the generic one and the right side here will be the cisco centric or the cisco specific.
Essentially, all of the main classes in the core classes for both tracks are the same. When we first access the course program, the general one is on the left and the Cisco-specific one is on the right. For example, we have IOT (Internet of Things) for general track, but in cisco-specific we have certifications such as cisco cyber ops, DevNet and CCNA. In the left column, we have network and application security, network automation and deployment and also version control.
These two courses are really really good and all the discrete math in this is really really impressive. Both programs place a strong focus on programming and version control, making for a fairly fascinating degree that combines network engineering with certain elements of software engineering or computer science.
It's like two favorite things combined, doing cisco and doing computer science stuff at the same time. This is really really cool to see.
Study.com - Acceleration strategy and money saving strategy
Next we'll go in and look at some acceleration strategies and money-saving strategies. If you want to enroll in this program and then finish faster than usual and or save a little money. Let's take a look at this spreadsheet!
At the bottom there will be several tabs, general and cisco tabs. Basically the contents of both are more or less the same. The first column is the course id, the second column is the name of the course, then the number of credits or units. Then the fourth column is the column equivalent to study.com.
What this means is that WGU has partnerships with various types of educational institutions, whereby you can take classes in those organizations and then transfer them to WGU and then satisfy them for your program.

5:23 what if I just paid you to do my degree ?
I don’t know a better word to express how I feel after watching this video then impressed your knowledge is insane I’m so appreciative of you making these videos thanks!
Hey TJ, I really appreciate that! I just want to produce some decent content that helps people if possible haha. Thanks so much for watching :)
I just enrolled in this program and plan on starting in the next 30 - 60 Days.. Great input and you paint a picture better than the counselors.. (No Offense)
lmao "No offense" hahaha, thank you, I really appreciate that a lot. Congrats on enrolling in this, I think this degree is SUPER dope honestly. If I was starting out, I would be strongly drawn to it, if not CS. Good luck with it, i feel it will be really fun :)
I'm going to do the regular track and just pay for the CCNA on my own time.
Thanks for your honest reviews Josh! Really making decision making easier for us.
Thank you for this. I worked in a noc in the army then did fiber optic cabling for server farms. Kind of had to deal with some issues from the army so now i feel ready to tackle this. I'm 50 but i feel good about working on this.
Heck yeah, good to hear and good for you. Best of luck, I don't think you'll regret it :)
Wow, this is such great content. Thank you so much. I am a super noob and have wanted to go this route for so long but have no idea where to start or even look beyond traditional classes. Thank you so much for this.
Thanks for this video. Your AD video was a HUGE asset for me in getting my first IT job 6 months ago.
Currently enrolled in the NES program at WGU after being forced to transfer from NOS. A little bummed to miss out on AWS + CCNA certs, but graduating quicker might be worth it. Actually chose the general track as I didn't want to lose CU's from Sec+. Figure I can pick up Cisco certs on my own.
Keep up the great content!
AH, that explains the sunglasses. I can't believe I missed this banger of a video. I was thinking of changing my degree to this one. This video made it easy for me to decide now. Thanks!
Glad you liked it! And yeah, it blows but maybe I can get some lighter prescription ones or something. I hope it doesn't distract from the video too much hehe. Thanks for watching though
Thank you for linking to the resources, as someone currently enrolled in BSNOS and debating whether to make the switch it saved a lot of time.
your spreadsheets are so helpful
Hello Josh, thanks for your feedback on a previous comment.
I’m basically working in Helpdesk and trying to transition to cyber sec.
I’m halfway to Security+ and studying PNPT through their free course on Twitch.
Thanks for your guidance.
Hey Raza, no problem! thanks so much for the update! Good luck with it :)
You dont need anything but the security+, CCNA, and you need the CISA(easiest way to get to get IAT level 3) Cysa+ will help too. look into the DoD 8570
This new degree is fucked, they added 13 immuntable classes. so even if you transfer everything in you still have like 1 year or study to knock out and that is prob going to be the fastest you can knock it out.
-Michael jackson Net+,Sec+,Pentest+,Cysa+,eJPT working on CCNA very ez so far jeremy IT lab + official cert guide book + BOSON exsim.
Thank you Josh for making this video, I'm going for the standard track then probably get ccna later lol
that's my plan too. CCNA is a beast haha I'd probably have to spend a whole term on it
awesome! im currently getting my BS in cloud computing from WGU, and ive been thinking about switching to a more security focused degree, would you recommend this new network security course or the cyber security degree?
Shoot, it depends on how much you are interested in coding and the Discrete math. If I had to pick one, I would definitely pick the Net Eng Sec degree (cisco track). I don't know if it's "worth it" for you to switch unless you are really passionate about it because the cloud degree is freaking good too, especially the new ones :P
@@JoshMadakor What would you say if you're not looking forward to discrete math or coding? Debating between BSIT and BSNES but this new degree seems to be very similar to the BSIT but with a few more CompTIA certs (going the CompTIA track for speed). Might just stick to BSIT but the new degree name sounds so fancy, definitely better on resumes.
how is the cloud program going for you. I'm planning on apply this month
Alot of employers and positions in my area specifically ask for CCNA for Network anything positions, so this is an attractive degree and edges out the WGU BS Cybersecurity & Information Assurance degree by just a smidge.
The BSNES from WGU offers a General (CompTIA) track and a Cisco track.
I'm wondering, since the CCNA can be a beast, if its worth it, to get the CCT first, (along with using NetAcad or Skillsforall) as an entry-level run for CCNA for someone who doesn't have CompTIA Network+.
Considering my WGU entry date is now a hard April 1st, due to employment reimbursement timeframe, I'm considering once I'm done with WGU partner stuff, to go study for the Cisco CCT, to get a feel for the Cisco style of tests, as a prep for CCNA.
Another gem! Thank you.
Thanks Mike! And thanks for watching ^^
@@JoshMadakor you're welcome
Hi Josh, so I've been admitted to the BSCSIA program and I start September 1st. Only thing is, the Cisco track for the BSNES seems objectively better minus not having SSCP or CCSP. Math/Programming isn't my favorite thing in the world but it the practicality seems interesting and it seems like such an invaluable skill in tech that I might as well suck it up and learn it. Is it too late to switch? Should I switch?
Hey Josh - I'm in the process of getting out of the Air Force and have been looking into the VETTEC program from the VA, they have training providers that have programs to lead to certs, free to Veterans. One that I have been looking at is "United Training Academy", specifically their IT Desktop Networking and Security pathway. I was wondering if you've ever heard of them before?
I haven't heard of them before, but if it's free and the curriculum looks relevant, it might be a great place to learn some stuff and figure out what you like/don't like :P
@@JoshMadakor Right on! Yeah, definitely a path I am looking at as I transition out - I'll have some "free" time to kill at home before the school semester starts, and figured if I can knock out some certificates that could knock off some credit hours (if I go the WGU path :D) it's a win win.
Seriously appreciate your input! I know I've commented a few times asking similar questions lol.
Actually in a similar situation, getting out from Army in two months and looking to knock out some college hours while I attain VET TEC with ACI learning in Dallas for their AWS program.
VETTEC needs to get with WGU, like yeah you can use your GI bill at wgu, cool. but WGU IT school is perfect for VETTEC, even if they only offered the basic IT B.S. degree, that would be awesome.
I know lots of people who wear sunglasses due to the lights. You're good. Don't stress it. I get the headaches too. Can only imagine if you do it more often then me.
Hey Momma, thanks so much for the support and understanding. I haven't really dealt with sun glasses very much, but when I started wearing them, I was like, "WOW, I never want to take these off!" lol. I think I'm gonna get some prescription ones, they are so good. Also, thank again for watching as always :)
Bonus, it could be part of your brand too. I know a few who ended up doing that too. Another thing, remember it's a business expense too 😉 💜
with the old spreadsheet for the BSNOS you had the assessment type. Any chance of updating the new degree plan with that information? I start the NET-ENG Sept 1st and knowing what it takes to pass the class at the end of it helps me prepare mentally. Thanks for all the info you are giving out. Great content. Keep Grinding.
Hey Josh! This is unrelated to the current video but I wanted to comment here for visibility. I have some experience in IT (< 1 year tier 2 help desk style job) but I feel like I am experiencing paralysis by analysis. I am really stuck between pursuing cybersecurity or cloud computing. I know it might be an apples to oranges comparison but what are some things that I should be considering that would sway me to either side (pay floors and ceilings, time to complete relevant degree, rigor, ease to find a job after graduation, growth in either field, etc.)? I appreciate your content so much, you are extremely underrated!
Loving your videos men ! Be careful with your eyes try to take a break here and there please
Hello Josh! Thank you so much for posting this video, I’ve been on the fence for which program to go with, Cisco it is!
Hi Josh! You convinced me to enroll at WGU, thank you!
I wanted to ask if you could make a video about yourself accelerating a business degree because most of your videos are on IT. I think it would also help your channel as 32.7% of WGU students are business degrees vs IT 19.3%. Thanks :) source: Wgu website -> Admissions -> Overview (scroll to bottom).
Hey Luis! This will happen at some point in the future, and thanks so much for sharing those stats with me! Glad I could help you to join WGU, I'm sure you won't regret it. Feels great to have the degree out of the way ^^
Thank you Josh for another good one. Please can you explain how to show my projects during job interviews? Thank you so much in advance.
As always best content. Thanks brother.
Thank you Josh for this video.
How is the market someone who was to work as a freelance cybersecurity technician.I worked in the New York area years ago, and the guys who seemed to have it together, were contract programmers making about $ 500.00 a day, working short and long term projects.This was in 1981. People would work for six months, then vacation in the Bahamss, for two or three months.
Edward Snowden left the CIA,and went to work for Dell at $ 3000,00 a week.I assume this was a contract as why would you want to leave a stable government job,but just needed more freedom.Contracting seems the best way to go,..more money and a free lifestyle.
Contracting is the best imo. I'm in Bangkok Thailand right now looking at my high-rise Airbnb over the city as I type this. Room is $30/day and I can get a full meal for less then $5, meanwhile my contract is giving me big coins. Full freedom haha.
The market has unlimited work as long as your person (resume, portfolio...employability) is squared away. Getting there is the tricky part, but once you are, you are good to go. Also government jobs suck IMO. I will never work for the govt gain unless it's as a very specialized contract position where they are giving me more money than I'm worth. lol
Hi Josh, I'm 35 and aiming to totally switch careers, from accounting to IT (likely security). My goal is to get A+ > Network+ > security+; build some quality projects, (and also learn a language or two like python, c# etc). Any advice re: reccs/changes for this plan ?
Hey Rekt, this plan is actually looking pretty good. Just keep in mind you don't have to wait until you "finish" everything on your list before you start applying to jobs. You can, you just don't have to :P. So I _may_ start casually applying after A+ and a project or something. Just a thought! Good job with the plan, sounds like you are set!
Thank for the video :O
This guy has 20 courses listed there are over 30 now with most of them being immutable, what this mean even if you were to pre-game the hell out of this degree and knock out every cert and most of the classes through a third party they have made sure that earning this degree will still take you around 1 year to complete. its best to not spend time trying to get this. just do the certs that will earn you money and do some free code camp and you will be ahead of anyone that goes down this road in terms of skill good luck my friends stay curious.
Great stuff as always. I just started the Cybersecurity program. Any reason I should switch to this?
Hey Miraj, hmm, I wouldn't switch unless it was super appealing or something. Like if you are super into automation and networking and you just want to join it so badly, haha. (Thanks for watching early btw!)
So.. what's your opinion on skipping these degrees and just getting certs? I have the A+ cert, got a Desktop Support Technician job about 3 months ago, and I'm currently working towards Net+. Next will most likely be Sec+. Just trying to figure out what my best options are for moving up the IT ladder.
Thanks!
Josh I'm learning cybersecurity for the first time. Where online, can I find cybersecurity hands on labs, where i can learn by doing, whether it be free or cost based. Thanks so much for your videos they are very helpful and fundamental.
Hey Morgan, congrats on jumping in! It kinda depends on what you want to do, but you can check out www.rangeforce.com/ , I believe they have some decent stuff there.
I also have a free lab on RUclips where you can observe live attackers. The Azure portal got updated, so some of the stuff probably changed, but you can check it out here: SIEM/Sentinel Tutorial: ruclips.net/video/RoZeVbbZ0o0/видео.html
Best of luck, and thanks for watching!
Wow this is helpful ❤ thanks

Hey Josh, I'm currently working Help Desk at a big bank. I want to get into network engineering or something with automation, with all my transfer credits I will only have 7 classes left if I decided to do the CS degree, or I could also do the network engineering degree with about 14 classes left. Would you say that CS with CCNA on my own after would be more beneficial than doing Network engineering and lear programming on my own? Considering it will take me less time/money for the CS degree. Also I have already learned CCNA in the past just need to refresh my mind on it. Also do you think that getting both degrees will be worth it?
Hey Micah! sounds like you are pretty setup. I always say that a CS degree paired with certs is probably the best all around, for both HR and practicability. Having said that, the Cisco Track network engineering degree looks absolutely dope with the CCNA/DevNet certs in it. Of course like you said, you could just get your CS degree quickly and then get CCNA/DevNet after if you wanted to. I would probably do that actually, especially if you already have calculus out of the way :P. Congrats on winning haha
@@JoshMadakor thank you very much for that input! I live in DFW so who knows maybe we will work together some day!
Love the sunglasses
At this point do you still recommend the Cyber Security and Information Assurance degree from WGU?
What if someone wanted to renter the IT/ computer field? I myself have worked in technical support and I.B.M. mainframe/ midrange systems for almost ten years.Also studied three programming languages at a coding academy.Presently studying networking and cybersecurity thru the Comptia syllabus. I am interested in either a NOC or SOC position.Also I have a physical security background and have worked midnight and weekend shifts,for many years,both in physical security and IT/ computers.Just curious if in your opinion how hard it would be to land a contract job to start in either a NOC or SOC?
It really just depends on how you market/present yourself. I would try to make my experience look more recent on my resume, maybe get that cert you're studying for, do a few projects, have a nice resume, then just start applying. a NOC shouldn't be too hard to land with enough consistency. You can probably use this methodology to get a job in either a NOC or SOC with your experience:
How to get into cyber from zero (checklist): ruclips.net/video/a83ASGn_V_s/видео.html
Good luck!
Hi Josh love your videos. Do you think the CCNA is overall better than the Net+ and Sec+ for Nedwork Admin roles?
CCNA, Devnet, Cyber, etc is NOT entry level certifications- thats why it's listed in the syllabus as Core classes & not intro classes
Nah, Cisco had an even lower networking cert, that was about on par with network+, it was the CCENT. But they dissolved it in 2020, and actually sort of combined it with CCNA, so CCNA is actually the entry level networking cert that Cisco offers. So CCNA is an entry level cert now. It used to be exactly mid level cert from Cisco. Cyberops is as well. Material is about on par with security+ or maybe even cysa... Doesn't hold as much weight which is bs, but hey.
@@Siegefyathis is a lie, CCNA Is combo of 5 other CCNAs, it's definitely an associate level cert, the entry level that replaced CCENT is Cisco Certified Support Technician (Network) ... u are a complete liar
Loaded question: I technically already have a STEM bachelor's degree unrelated to anything tech and was considering the Master's in Data Analytics degree from WGU. From a purely "monetarily benefit my life" perspective, would that degree be my best option, or would any of the networking/cloud/CS/software dev/etc. degrees be of greater benefit? Loaded, I know. I only just started my baby's first helpdesk analyst role and really don't want to get complacent.
Hey! If you're already working and getting experience, you already got the hard part out of the way. Data is kinda my weak area though i find it interesting. I knw you can make quite a bit as a data scientist and that degree is supposed to steer you in that direction, but I imaging there is a lot of other prep you'd probably have to do to land a bonafide data science/engineering role. If not that degree, CS will be the highest paying, assuming you go through with the other stuff necessary to get a high paying Engineering job :)
Check out this video if you haven't already for what I mean: How I passed my Google SWE Phone Screen: ruclips.net/video/wVOU-oLOGuk/видео.html
That was kind of a loaded question, hahaha. Thanks for watching :)
@@JoshMadakor Thanks for the response, Josh. Seriously appreciate your wisdom. I landed my current job using your advice, so I'll be sure to check out the video you linked too. Thank you!
I'm currently debating between going into the Cybersecurity or Network Engineering and Security Degree...
I'd prefer the Net Eng Sec degree tbh. It's probably a bit harder, but it's really cool.
@@JoshMadakor so if you had started over you would have personally taken the Network Engineering over Cybersecurity?
No matter if it was a Masters or bachelor's you would not have taken Cybersecurity?
So which one is better: Net Ops Sec or Net En Sec? Which one do you recommend more?
You know, I think they are just replacing Net Ops Sec with Net Eng Sec, NES is better anyway IMO, the cisco track especially
@@JoshMadakor oh got it)
@@JoshMadakor thanks again. Just was curious, what these operations would mean😁
BSNES also has the Net+, I didn’t see you list it
Hey Josh, would you recommend pre-gaming CCNA for this program? I think it might be weird for me to pregame CCNA when I don’t even have the (required) A+ yet. Thoughts?
I would absolutely 100% recommend pregaming CCNA. That thing is going to take 3 months minimum on the absolute best case scenario with diligent study. Not something you wanna blow a whole term on ($3500). Good news is, all the comptia exams are gonna seem easy after :)
@@JoshMadakor Thank you so much! Going to push back my start date now. :)
between cloud and new Network engineering/security, which one is easier to understand conceptually?
Probably cloud because CCNA tends to be more conceptually difficult. (subnetting, VLSM, routing protocols). Totally subjective though, but that's my opinion :)
@@JoshMadakor The discrete math in bnes, Looks difficult.
@@JoshMadakor I just looked at "jeremrey IT labs" about network ops. OMG, defintely NOT for me.
Can you go over the Data Management/ Data analytics degree at WGU
Hi Josh, I am interested in Cloud computing and the CompSci degree from WGU. I am learning web development right now but my ultimate goal is to work in the cloud. Which one of these degreee will help me more in the future, I am 35 . Thanks
It's hard to say since the CS degree is such a wildcard. The CS degree provides the best foundation and the highest pay ceiling IMO, but you really have to work for it, even after you graduate. With the cloud degree, you can get a good job with much less effort IMO. It's just kind of a toss-up. and hard to answer. There is also a lot of overlap between cloud and development these days as well. An alternative would be to go for the Cloud Degree then get your programming up on your own, as needed. This would let you graduate faster than with the extra time, you can build up your coding skills.
I might recommend checking out the video on how I interviewed at google. You might get some insights from there. thanks so much for watching!
@@JoshMadakor Thanks so much. I will definitely check your other video
Josh, network engineering (Cisco) or cloud? I’m learning to code rn. Transferred my credits for software dev but the new network engineering seems beast. Thanks, king!
Hey Puda, you might as well flip a coin because both of them area really dope. If you do the cisco track, you don't necessarily have to work in cisco/networking. Same with the cloud track, it doesn't mean you have to work in cloud. Both tracks are really really good, especially the new versions of both :)
@@JoshMadakor do you think i would be able to get a dev job/ cloud position after going for the networking degree if I chose to?
Thank God you had a good reason for wearing sun glasses josh.. i almost lost faith in humanity
lmfao, you didn't like that? hahaha. I'm still wearing them now. I didn't realize sun glasses are so good honestly. I will probably keep wearing them. Hope you don't mind lol
@@JoshMadakor no im only kidding. Some people wear sunglasses at night or in videos and its kinda funny. I have also bought light blocking glasses from amazon.. they have some sort of magnifying effect as well that hurts my eyes. So it prevents light strain but the magnifying effect hurts. Cant win
Would you switch out of the old BSNOS for the standard track BSNES? I am not in the field of IT, but I do put devices on networks in the medical field and have to interact with IT/networking guys often. I wanted a degree that would set me apart in my field. (I am a Biomedical Field Service Engineer)
I am only 1 term into BNOS degree. And the military is paying my Tuition Assistance when I start my new term should I switch over to this degree if you were in my shoes
Hey Dominic. If it doesn't set you back in any way and you are down with the new material, I would probably switch to the Cisco track haha. It's looking really good honestly :)
@@JoshMadakor thank you for the quick reply. I like the idea of it being close to the computer science like you said
Which one is more future proof? Cisco or original pathway?
I wanted to enroll in Masters Degree Program from WGU, but it turns out they don't accept international students,
It's mandatory to be US citizen to enroll in their programs.
Check out Thomas Edison State University (TESU), they take transfers from study.com etc and are sorta similar to wgu. They accept outside international students too :)
@@JoshMadakor
Thanks for the suggestion, Their (TESU) website seems to be down,
Anyways, I was particularly planning for Masters in Cyber Security & Information Assurance,
My main goal is to transition from Software Development to a security engineer role, so I thought that could help.
I guess I'll just go the certifications route then, any suggestion/roadmap you can suggest me will greatly help.
Thanks,
Like I have B.S and master degree in psychology, but i want to switch to IT field, should I go to school to get IT degree or just IT certified is enough?
How can I sign up for your Patreon?
Thanks so much, that's so nice of you. Here's the link: www.patreon.com/joshmadakor
Can I pick the classes I want to take 1st hello. From Puerto Rico
Base on your spreadsheet these track don't come with A+ and Net+ certificate?
I'm currently in the BSNOS and went to the WGU website out of curiosity and its not an option anymore looks like it was completely replaced by the BSNES. You think I'm in the last class in the BSNOS program WGU will offer?
Hey josh,
I'm thinking about getting my bachelors at wgu after two years in community college( cyber sec and networking ). If you had to pick which degree would you go with, the cybersec and info assurance, or would you go with the Net engineer and security degree? ( edit for question mark)
What did you do to make your taskbar look so clean? Just point me in the direction and I'll figure out how to set it up haha
That’s Windows 11
Would you say CS over the network degree.
I personally would and did, but by the time I was considering it, I already had a whole bunch of certs and I wanted the CS degree to work in Dev.
At this point, IMO, if you want to work in IT, the best ROI would be to go for the network degree because it will take less time and has tons of certs. Just my thoughts!
@@JoshMadakor ok last one please I know CS is the gold standard as they say. I have no IT experience but 12 years of finance experience. I am trying to pivot into Network security. I know it will take time so with respect to entry into the field, CS or Network engineering.
What is your opinion of Saylor classes?
Hey so how long will it take to get a bachelors when starting from scratch?
Hi Josh, I'm looking into enrolling at WGU for cybersecurity. I would like to work for the government in cyber security or even software engineering. The only problem is that I have to experience in IT or coding. Do you suggest that I still enroll or continue my path at a 4 year university?
IT security only cost business money they never look at the savings it provides them
One day.
One day, WGU will finally stop and realize that Josh was here all along.
By the way, I think you unintentionally put a different Instagram handle other than yours on the outro annotations. LOL
Lmao, WGU knows I exist. I'm 100% certain they have had meetings trying to decide what to do about me. I know this because there will be times when multiple WGU staff will add me on linkedin at the same time lol. Also the other IG handle is my future editor/Ops manager lmao. I don't want to shill my other channel right now since I'm not working on it, and there was an empty slot in the outro screen so I just put her IG, lmao. Very astute of you
Hmmm, Windows 11? No more Mac?
Can the math be done at a later time?
R U still living in the car?
Is this new degree better than BSCIA for those with no experience since it has the networking emphasis? A lot of these courses in the new degree I am doing on my own on the side because I feel the BSCIA is lacking in these areas the new degree seems to fill? The only thing that scares me is the math.
Hey! Yes, I'm still living in my car. I slept in it last night in Microsoft's parking lot, lmao. This degree is the new "Networking Operations and Security" degree. The math is probably a bit tough in this degree, but it's not as bad as the CS track, that's for sure. Calculus and Discrete Math 2 were brutal for me--this one isn't quite as bad I don't believe, haha.
You enjoy Discrete Maths, Veritasium style 😅
Hahaha, It's kinda useful and I can see the use cases for it. It was quite hard for me though, I will say. Especially DM2 💀
Network Engineering is most definitely not a “Engineering” degree like mechanical and electrical engineering.
*Hey Josh, Thanks for your content and contributions to youtube. I have been looking into this degree because it is very cert heavy degree. I look at it looks it qualifies me for many opportunities outside of what I actually want. Do you see this degree as appropriate for someone wanting to do software QA are maybe data analysis? I know that there are degrees that suit the careers better but id like to get a degree that helps qualify for the most opportunities and leaves me in a good position to pivot my career. I also want the degree to be relevant to my current desire for a software qa role but not as hard as a CS degree leaving me struggling to finish. What are your thoughts on this? I know it's long but it would really help to get your opinion. I'm very open to brutal honesty.* Dexterous X
