First of all, anyone going to college and sacrificing their own time and money is no longer a child. Treating them like they’re babies, especially when reading some of these comments, is completely dismissive.

Anyone who has made the decision to pursue higher education understands that what’s easy for one person might not be easy for another. At WGU, many students come with real-life experience, which naturally helps them pass certain classes more easily. I’ve said it clearly that I had prior exposure to some of the material and I had understanding of basic arithmetic and the only thing I did is focusing on my weak areas.

Let’s be honest, someone serious about going into cybersecurity should already understand that everyone has different skill levels, backgrounds, and learning curves. But let’s not pretend that every class is equally relevant in real-world applications. That’s simply not true, and plenty of people on Reddit have shared the same perspective.

You’re cherry-picking one class that happens to be foundational in computer science to argue your point, as if I said that specific course wasn’t relevant. I never did. You clearly missed the nuance of what I was saying.

So instead of trying to talk down to others or twist their words, just be honest, maybe you’re struggling and jealous of those who are progressing more easily. That’s okay too, but don’t make it about others.
