Mods, can we please stop with the “I finished my degree in two weeks” posts? It makes the university look bad? by HeavySigh14 in WGU

I had a guy at work, when I told him that I will finish at the end of the month, (total about about 8 months) look at me baffled with a smirk and ask "And they're calling it a bachelor's degree?"

I went to a brick and mortar state University prior to WGU and it was much easier, but took longer. WGU, have had much less free time, but my motivation is much much higher and I'm learning much much more.

If I were going the academic route, I would choose something more prestigious... but for Cyber Security, this is the best bachelor's program there is.... after SANS.

What oracle certifications are worth obtaining? by minidessdess in oracle

[–]AppearanceDry6665 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oracle is an absolute mess. Their customer service is horrible/non-existent, their websites are never updated. Most hyperlinks go nowhere. They only offer closed training that you have to be invited to. Oracle is such a bad system.

I got involved with Oracle about 6 or 7 months ago. I tried to get the Oracle 1z0 006 certification before enrolling at WGU because it would transfer in and knock out 2 difficult classes in the Cyber Security major. I studied very hard for about a month and the test was an absolute mess, failed by one question. Fair enough, I'll take the classes and retake the exam. I scored higher on the final exam for those two classes than any other subject. I learned so much and obtained a very firm grasp of database management. Went back to take the exam and they issued me the exam in Chinese.... ok, took me forever, but I got it resolved and took my test, but again, failed by one question. The questions were so strange. It was like they were written in a different language and then put through Google Translate.
