WGU is the best, and you can receive certifications while getting your degree. The Professors are willing to help as long as you communicate/schedule appointments with them. I also like it’s a class of one, competency based curriculum 🥳

In one of your videos you mentioned that you bought 2 cisco routers & set up some type of server, and how it was great to your interviewers. Would you mind telling me what/how you did it? Thx for all your content! Aspiring Cyber Dude here, working on Network+ right now

How do you know a faraway job would consider you without experience besides spray and pray? My brother works in HR and has told me outright that if you don't live nearby, his company is likely going to throw out the resume because they receive thousands, are a small team and are on a tight schedule and you are making them work harder.
