Its always been the case that only a handful of majors "get" you a job in the first place. The easy majors allow you to "check yes in the degree box". They are VERY useful for this purpose. Tons of careers except LibArts degrees for advancement to upper level management and higher pay levels. Particularly state and fed government jobs come to mind...Which is half the workforce. Also you failed to mention that there is a huge cost savings buy taking classes at sophia,study vs paying the tuition at a traditional school.
Yes, it can check the degree box. Any major is better than a High School diploma. But there are far better majors you can get for equal or less money, and in equal or less time if you know what you're doing. It's like ordering a PB&J sandwich when there's a restaurant across the street serving Ribeye Steak for the same price. Just walk across the street. You just have to approach things differently. Can't just follow the online trends or you'll fall into the trap. If anyone needs direction, just reach out. I'm here to help.
Definitely goal specific as you said. This seems to only matter if the end goal is not a bachelors but a masters, or you plan to transfer to a specialized program for your masters. I’m hacking a BABA Project Management and Information systems company with UMPI. I’m already in project management so this just helps support my experience and end goal.
If you don't want to get scholarships or grants, then it saves you money.. But I'm all about hacking those scholarships. Anyone can pay zero out of pocket for school.
How many hours of study would i need to put in a week ( give an approximate number of hours)to complete bachelors degree in 4 months in marketing major at WGU. Due to some circumstances I can only give four months to my degree. I am an above average student btw. Would appreciate your reply
It depends on the student, but for me it was 10 to 20 hours per class. 40 classes for a Bachelor's Degree. I've helped students graduate as fast as 3 months, but you'd have to be super aggressive and apply every hack possible. I'm happy to teach you how. Shoot me an email (ryan@9monthgrad.com) and I'll help you map something out.
Accreditation is not the only factor. For example.. University of Phoenix is Regionally Accredited, but they have a bad rep. A few classes from Study is no big deal.. But if you're following the trend of getting let's say.. 3 years of your degree through study.. it's kinda like attending a lower level school for 3 years, then transferring for the last year just for the name.. But your transcripts still tell the full story. Hope that makes sense.
I will be doing the professional studies degree in business management at Excelsior University but I will use google certificates for my electives and use more business marketing electives.
You can fully hack the degree without. So I prefer the clean transcripts. A few 3rd party classes is no big deal but some students are overusing the 3rd party stuff. It looks terrible on your transcripts.
TBH Try to avoid it. You can't do anything with psychology on a bachelors level TBH. If you want to do anything related to the field, you will need a masters degree.
Hello sir, I really need a bachelprs degree in under a year in computer science but I'm not sure where to start, I'm an outside US student but if there are colleges in chicago that have programs where i can transfer credits please do let me know, i dont know much about how the credit system works it'd be great if you could recommend me a video for it
What if I am a high school student that just wants a WGU Engineering degree? I don't think I can hack a degree in your other way. Most of my knowledge in programming I have gotten through taking courses outside of school hours. I feel like I can accelerate in the tech world if I show up and show what I got despite going to a traditional 4 year college. What do you think?
A couple of strategies I like even more... If you're doing Study.com or Sophia while in high school, you're basically just adding more classes to your workload. I'd much rather just take the CLEP Exams that align with what you're already studying in high school. Instead of doubling your work, you're just adding a single exam for each subject... We're talking a couple of hours to get the college credit. Now, if you want to get really serious... You can hack high school using my Degree Hacking methods. My favorite school for this is Penn Foster High School. If you're looking to get into WGU faster... They'll accept you at 16 as long as you have a HS Diploma. You can hack the high school diploma, graduate by 16 and go straight into hacking college. By the way, I totally agree with you about your career plan. I think most employers are impressed which very young people already having degrees. And if you're skills are high, you're giving yourself a head start.
@@9monthcollegegrad-ryansway671 Oh sorry, I wante to mention I am graduating this month (high school). So I am getting ready to start my Bachelor's Degree. Thank you. In this case, is this still a smart way to hack into college? I am trying to finish as fast as possible, and also save as much money as possible. Does FAFSA help out a good bit? I know it depends on the income, but let's say my dad is the only one bringing income in, and he earns just a little above average in Pennsylvania.

What does your 3rd sentence mean?

What school do you recommend for a degree? If you have to take do an entire degree in a year or so how do you test out of foundational courses?
I teach my full process inside my Degree Hacking Academy program... www.DegreeHackingAcademy.com

Great job looking into the future and making sure your process helps you reach your goals.
It saves money that’s why I did it
If you don't want to get scholarships or grants, then it saves you money.. But I'm all about hacking those scholarships. Anyone can pay zero out of pocket for school.
How can I reach you?
Email is best (ryan@9monthgrad.com)
Why do you always mention your degree in 9 months but never say what the degree is in and where it is from?
I went to WGU and got a BS in Marketing. Thanks for pointing that out. I've done a lot of videos and forget to tell the backstory sometimes.
You can get 50 60 credits on study and test out of some schools

why does it look bad if study is accredited ?
Accreditation is not the only factor. For example.. University of Phoenix is Regionally Accredited, but they have a bad rep. A few classes from Study is no big deal.. But if you're following the trend of getting let's say.. 3 years of your degree through study.. it's kinda like attending a lower level school for 3 years, then transferring for the last year just for the name.. But your transcripts still tell the full story. Hope that makes sense.
Study is too expensive. However, you can complete upper-level courses on there.
Yep, they have a huge variety.
True but if you are attending a private university it can save you a ton of money. Scholarships are no guarantee even if you apply.
I will be doing the professional studies degree in business management at Excelsior University but I will use google certificates for my electives and use more business marketing electives.
Very cool!
I don't want a liberal studies degree. I want a psychology degree. Is using Study or Sophia still a bad idea?
