That's my brother!! He's honestly so determined and has been busting his ass for so long
Proud of him!!
Too sweet! 😍
Hey Clifford, I wanted to thank you for all the content you have put out. Because of your videos, I found Sophia, got my BLS from UMPI in six weeks, and am 20 days into my MBA at WGU and only have four classes left. All in about one year.
What made you choose umpi vs wgu?
Whoa. AMAZING!
UMPI takes the most Sophia credits. It was all about the fast track for me. They will take 90 credits. My wife just finished her 90 with Sophia in 4 months and will start UMPI on September 1st. She should from start to finish have a BLS in 7 months. @hinaa8229
@@CollegeHackedhow can we hack a EdD?
@@robertbrowning2048 Depends on the school of course, but yes! At minimum we know Liberty allows it via their experience plus credit.
Jason is a heck of a father. That was a lot of work he did for his family.
Agree!!
Thank you so much! I couldn't have done it without them either.
@@krassygnoll Jason is a classy guy to boot.
Congratulations Jason! Well done! 🎉
Much appreciated! Thank you so much!
Congratulations to Jason for earning his degree 🎉❤
Thank you so much! Just the next step in the journey you know?
Thank you so much for having me on Ciff! I'm glad I was able to share my story and inspire some folks. You do a lot of great things for the autodidact community, and I wish you the best.
If anyone wants to follow me on youtube, I'll be happy to respond to any questions sent in addition to covering topics within the tech/cybersecurity space. Still working on getting everything up and running, but my first two topics will be my experiences with WGU in addition to my writeups for a cybersecurity 'capture the flag' competition I participated in recently.
Just trying to juggle my master's program, my family, working a seasonal job, and finding a long term position so video content is on the backburner right now.
Awesome! And thanks for being on! Will add your channel to the description.
Awesome story Jason! Glad to hear you sought it out and got it done. While our tech standards are high in Mass, there are a TON of tech opportunities! I’m sure you’ll land that perfect position in no time!
Good luck, you’re an inspiration!
Great job, Jason! Wonderful inspiration! : )
Thank you for your kind words! I hope you can get out there and accomplish your goals.
Pell Grants are awesome! I’ll be finishing my BABA at UMPI this fall with a net income from grants of $1550 (after Sophia cost etc are subtracted). If you’re an independent adult, it’s worth filling out the FAFSA
Preach!! Awesome work
This video deserves much more views and likes. Incredible channel
We think so too! But we are biased, so it’s nice to hear that from you 😜
Traditional education doesn't fit everyone. In fact there is a lot of expensive required fluff in most college programs and also K-12. Many people, myself included, are more independent learners.. Fortunately, there are alternative pathways now for people to get that piece of paper to further their careers.
Well said!
Absolutely. When I was in high school a friend of mine was really struggling with traditional high school, and at the time I didn't appreciate how dropping out might have been the best move for him. My parents didn't want me to go to a vocational school, but truthfully I think it would have been a better move at the time. Even if I went to college afterwards, it would have given me a much bigger leg up in my field to have more formal experience when I was a teenager.
There is a ton of political conversations around the education system, and I agree that we need a reform. It would be great if the education system could foster learning instead of trying to shove everyone into the same mold. Not everyone learns best through lectures, or can memorize a bunch of facts. It takes all kinds for us to move forward and do great things.
Congratulations 🎊
I want to start as well.
Need some wisdom and motivation 😁
Awesome Awesome Awesome. Thanks for the story. That is what keeps me motivated.
Anytime! If you ever want more motivation you can reply here and I'll be happy to cheer you on. We're all in this together.
I commend Jason on his efforts. I'm sure that was a tough 11 months.
However, I find this to be sadly ironic, because I predict that in the near future we will have AI writing software for us. Humans will be for prompts and debugging.
Still - somebody will have to run the AI : ) I remember these same concerns about computers getting rid of jobs for humans, back when the PC was new-ish, in the 80's. It turned out that while computers got rid of some jobs, they also *created* a lot more jobs, in tech fields.
@@annai157thus the prompts and debugging he mentioned. Not exactly any degree currently that would make someone an expert on it.
@@annai157 I remember when they said computers would replace paper. No more paperwork or mailboxes. It seems now we have more paper than ever plus all the electronic forms.
I've been learning more about AI because I'm a giant nerd.
While I wouldn't say it lacks a place in computing entirely, what we're seeing is a need for correction,consolidation, and inputs. That is to say, a need for more information so AI can generate code from what we supply it with. It might be able to spit code like it's nothing, but it can't be correct,systematic, or condense for clarity or function what it outputs. Thus, we humans still have a place getting through to AI when it comes to writing and maintaining codes or computers. A huge amount of AI is also back-end maintenance from, you guessed it, humans. If the system fails for a variety of reasons, no power, no internet connection, delayed or severed connectivity while there is a cache and save option like most programs as a default it ALWAYS depends on making sure things are maintained in the background. (AUTOSAVE, hard river backups, on-site computer hardware power ect)
AI code is good but sloppy in many instances. You need to have a background in computing rudiments to fix the bugs. Certain automated tasks people can program out of their schedule without AI, but AI put the tools to non tech literate people. If the system fails, AI has no tech support debug features beyond a few help wizard (read, limited) tool kits. More bugs and more features mean it's a more complex system. I know, a repetition of my earlier point. Essentially, AI is a tool, but it isn't a replacement for all workers. It's up to us to set good work practices and pay grades for those people who are essential to making our world run. The use of new tools doesn't mean jobs are destroyed it means we learn to use these tools in different ways.
@@katydid5088 have you made your own model yet? Software engineers will be a thing of the past. Only debug teams will exist.
Congrats Jason! I feel in the same boat right now, how old were you when you started college again before graduating? I feel sometimes that it's too late for me being in my early 30s, but I think I'll give it a try 🤗
It’s never too late! We’ve helped people in their 70s finish 🥳
It’s never to late to go after your dreams and check off a goal
My Bishop never went to college. Started in his 50s. He just graduated with his masters and is on the getting his doctorates.
My great grandfather was the oldest graduate from Ohio state university he got his MD. He worked as a physician until he passed away🕊️
With these schools you can finish sooner than later.
Go for it 🥰💕✨
If you are at wgu can you quit go to Sophia then go back to wgu
Once you start classes at WGU they don’t let you transfer more outside credit into your degree.
Thank you this was so inspiring
So if we take the Sophia courses and transfer
Them into WGU can we apply for financial aid ❓🥰✨💕 He didn’t go into detail on exactly what he used besides the scholarships that helped lower his cost. Did he use financial aid❓ I noticed that WGU has FASFA on their website. How does that work with hacking❓
Thank you and your beautiful wife for all that you do🥰✨💕
Transferring in courses from Sophia/Study to WGU IS what makes it less expensive :) Those platforms cost less than WGU tuition, so you save money. You can still use FAFSA directly for WGU costs if you qualify, yes.
What would you be able to do to help high school kids go down the college hacked path? I'm the director of a homeschool hybrid school, and I want my students to have this opportunity!
Hey, Pattie! Send me an email at clifford@collegehacked.com if you would, and we can talk options. We offer a few different ways of helping for groups specifically. And we love helping homeschoolers. Lauren and I were both homeschooled. So we love to pass it on.
I was wondering when are you going to do a review of U Mass Global?
We had planned on it, but after doing some additional research they aren’t as hackable as they originally looked, so it’s on the back burner for now. They don’t offer any new majors not already offered by other more hackable, less expensive schools that we talk about.
I have 56 college credits. I have been out of college for 14 years. This is my first time watching your videos. I’m inspired to finish my degree. What would you recommend? Thank you 🙏🏿
We recommend watching our top 7 online colleges video :)
Thank you 🙏🏿
Do you no a thing or two about landscape architecture . Im. Starting my journey this fall want to no id im making the right decision as a 28 years old
Sounds cool! If you’re going into it blindly that’s not ideal, but that doesn’t mean it won’t turn out to be a good direction. Try getting on LinkedIn to search for people who have the kind of job you want and see what they do/where they went to school, etc. It will give you a lot more information to work with. :)
Is wgu for international students as well
Unfortunately no, US and Canada
What would you say is the most hackable college in Michigan?
Not aware of any Michigan schools that accept Sophia/Study, but many will accept CLEP exams. You should be able to hack about a third of the degree that way.
@CollegeHacked, are there any public universities that offers a PHD in Organizational Leadership?
State schools, like Colorado State University
@@CollegeHacked Colorado State doesn't have a PHD in Organizational Leadership
@@smithlinm4532 *Organizational Learning! My bad
Is there a good private university I could get a PHD in Organizational Leadership from, and would be respected?
Is it really possible to get your bachelor degree in computer in just one year using sophia ? If yes i am gonna start please somebody tell me ??🤛✊ And what colleges accept sophia credits ?
*1 year with a lot of hard work! Not 1 year because it’s easy :) WGU.
@@CollegeHackedif we complete courses on sophia so we can transfer it to WGU for free and does it charge extra ?
@@ProGamER__801 Yes, but you have to take the correct classes so that they transfer. No extra fee from WGU for transferring classes in.
@@CollegeHacked can you suggest me any source where i can know about to take relevant course for bachelor in either software or computer ? And what are your saying on dropping off physical university for sophia courses as my first year completed but i am not intersested in going there every day because the environment of class i find absolutely boring and pointless ? Thanks i hope i did not bother you ,🤛🤛✊
