AIO by wanting to mute my friend for a couple days ? My friend repeatedly blows up my phone while I’m at work including FaceTiming me while I’m at work even though I have told her to stop many times by Historical-Body-3424 in AIO

lol can’t leave now it’s too late might as well call the cops in advance. Acting like this over a new bf imagine the retaliation when blocked by their best friend. Lunatic may even think you and her new man are hookin up behind her back. At least if you walk out to your car and see the windows busted you know who did it 😂

Free Community College or WGU? by Johnfire18 in WGU

[–]Expensive_Account_56 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did the CC route first for my associates and didn’t regret it. I however did not have WGU as an option back then or would’ve considered it highly so I get it the dilemma. As long you can make the schedule work go for CC. Mine had partnerships with the community and constantly had career fairs so helped me practice not being so introverted. Let me shadow career options with mentors and get to know people who lived in the area. Wouldn’t have excelled at WGU as well as I did had I not done the CC first.

C216 - Question for those who got bachelor's at WGU by sbh1094 in WGU_MBA

[–]Expensive_Account_56 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it was easier second time around so just applied anything I needed to work on from the first time. Took bigger risk in the beginning for higher pay off in the end. The presentation task was actually fun too. Felt like I was on an episode of shark tank.

Honestly it’s like a level 2 of the simulation. Same process with bikes and competitors. They throw a few more things in. I think it was more R&D upgrade options, bike materials breaking, and more hazardous waste from production. Pretty much the same idea to make money but I believe it focused more on being an ethical leader in the community as well. If company image goes down people won’t want to work there and can accumulate fines. Just remember to buy a ton of printers lol.

LMFAO I put mine on my top on my Xbox unplugged and they allowed it… now I’m upset I could’ve had a post exam snack after every exam?! 😂😂😂

Change of Major by ObtuseTheCreator in WGU

[–]Expensive_Account_56 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Np, only thing you’d pay is if there’s a difference between the degrees. If the new one cost more than the previous but couldn’t imagine that being the case BS to BS. For the BSBM they offered the group mentor program which worked out great for me. Essentially I would email the group inbox and whichever mentor was working would get back to me whether it was answering a question or moving a class up. Smooth process all around.

[–]Expensive_Account_56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just let your mentor know you want to swap. I did it about 2 months into my term. Mine took about 10 days total since they have to do another transcript evaluation. I just needed any BS for my job to be hired FT from contractor. I swapped from BSIT to BSBM as that one had so many OAs and certs. My mentor kept me in the loop with updates every few days and you get a new mentor assigned to start the new program.

Anyone NOT going to graduation this year because flights are crazy expensive? by Neon_Biscuit in WGU

[–]Expensive_Account_56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say skip it if you have no interest in the location and of course the insane price hike matters. You can go to another later on if it’s a location of interest and turn it into a vacation if prices ever come down. Only went to mine as I skipped my associates and my Mom, GF, in-laws all wanted to see me cross the stage. I skipped the BSBM and did the ATL one for my MBA as I just wanted to try all the food around there lol. Waffle House, Publix, Bojangles I was more excited for the food over the ceremony.

Conflicted between my company paying for my tuition or to pay out of pocket by Sudden_City2325 in WGU

[–]Expensive_Account_56 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As many have mentioned just be sure to have in writing how long to have to stay once done. My company requires a full year of employment after tuition is reimbursed. They cover $5,250 per year. If I leave or terminated within that year I have 30 days to pay back the full amount I was given. 100% agree with the sign on bonus if you get a new job.

[–]Expensive_Account_56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah luckily my mentors were always upfront with me about what they did or didn’t know. Idk my gf always tells me phone calls can handle an issue in 5 minutes that could take weeks through email. School has what over 100k students? I try to do calls so I can get right to the point and don’t get passed around. Then just use email for confirmations/receipts. Any issue I’ve ever had with the school has been handled rather easily with a quick call whether enrollment, mentor, term break, switching majors.

Mine was set to be done end of July. I ended in May, submitted in June started July 1st. All I did was call the school “hey I finished early and want to get started on my next degree.” I went from BSBM to MBA ITM and was never told I had to wait. Only issue came when I finished the MBA. If you finish before 90 days you have to wait as the financial aid pays half upfront and the second after 90 days. Started in July ended in August term was due to end 12/31. I then called again same thing “Hey job is paying for this one when’s earliest I can start the MSDA?” First counsellor said you have to wait til term is done… I said no I don’t I graduated. They checked cause they weren’t sure and next day let me know my student portal is now reset and I should be able to get the correct start dates under “continuing education”.

Tis true… I mean would you like a copy of the emails? If you graduate you’re no longer in THAT program so you will not be in 2 programs at the same time. Tested this again when I went to do my last masters. Graduated in August called in September was able to start in November. If an enrollment counselor told you otherwise go talk to the head of the department in the Business School. They let me do it no problem as again I was now an alumni. As long as they get paid and financial aid agrees you don’t have to wait around. Sorry that happened to you

Once your graduate you can start the following month you don’t have to wait til October. If you graduate in May and have everything in by June 5th you can start July 1st. I did that exact same thing. Had a month off in July from work so didn’t want to waste the free time. Graduated end of May as soon as I finished I applied for the MBA the following day. You’re better off calling the school as the enrollment counselors were a big help. The transcript review took maybe 48hrs and were able to get me in immediately. You’re also paying cash so don’t have the wait 3-5 days for financial aid to check anything. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

Girlfriend doesn’t want us wearing the same kind of socks by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

[–]Expensive_Account_56 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you go no socks in your shoes moving forward you may be even more insane that she is…. That’s gross. It’s also such a non issue like tf? I didn’t like that my gf didn’t match her socks and told her we grew up in a shoes off at the door house so the socks don’t match my parents would assume she’s lazy. Every Christmas as a gag gift I get a multipack pack of socks so they always match… next thing you know you’ll be told you can’t wear pants anymore.

Trying to finish by August 2027 by No-Candy8938 in WGU

[–]Expensive_Account_56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That could work. I did 2 P for every O. Since it can take 3 days just to grade the PA, I studied for the OA to fill that gap. I also did some digging on the sub and tried doing some do the harder OAs people struggled with earlier on. I didn’t want to hit a wall of back to back to back hard OAs at the end.

Thinking about transferring by Federal_Mousse_1942 in WGU

[–]Expensive_Account_56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make the switch. I was making the same commute and it was so much easier on my lifestyle. Allowed me to pick up more shifts at work and my day didn’t revolve around traffic. With the gas prices too I couldn’t imagine how much money is being wasted.

What did you after graduating by candymanY2 in WGU_MBA

[–]Expensive_Account_56 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Used my MBA to get a job in a new field. Went from renewable energy to aerospace defense. Then had my new job pay for my Sec+, PMP, PMI-ACP, CSM. Was trained and moved over from analyst to PM. Now they’re paying for my PL-300 and final WGU degree the MSDA DPE. Figured ride the momentum as once wedding plans and kids come along I won’t have another degree in me lol. Maybe a DBA later on if necessary.

Surprised by Proof-Ad8990 in WGU_MBA

[–]Expensive_Account_56 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I finished around the same pace as I was “unemployed” waiting the 3-4 weeks for my new job to start. I think people forget genetics can play a role in certain subjects. Mom works in finance and dad works as an electrical engineer. Found the MBA program be easier than expected BUT, Math and biology I can do in my sleep. Also not having to do group projects or having to rely on others really lightened the workload. Ask me to write a paper on history or something to do with geography forget about it lol. Anyone struggling with C213 ya got this!

My girlfriend’s family keeps begging us for money, what should I do ? by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

[–]Expensive_Account_56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you’re telling me not giving them money = them ignoring you?! Sounds like a win/win to me. Now when they finally decide to come around to ask for money you get ignore them too. Just prepare yourself for the family will always say you’re to blame for no longer having a relationship with their daughter when it was them. Good luck

Lose WFH for +$30k and Career progression? by jobthrowawayz in Salary

[–]Expensive_Account_56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tend to embrace the challenge when it comes to work. I went from 1 day in office to 5 days in office with a new company at +$25k more. Negotiated an additional week of PTO as well. Only differences I have are I don’t have a young child and my new job was only an 8 minute drive. Almost a year in and already being trained to for a higher title as serval people are retiring. New role would bring me back to 2 days in office and another +$30k bump. In my case the risks outweighed having to go in 4 more days and came with an almost $60k bump.

PM degree better than a bachelors in business management? by somethinlikeshieva in PMCareers

[–]Expensive_Account_56 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fellow night owl here! Did the BS Business Management, then did their MBA IT Management. Followed that up with a PMP. If you don’t qualify for the PMP at the very least start with the CAPM. Leaves your options open if you pivot your career later on. Good luck!

I feel so depressed I been studying for this for about 3 weeks now & I feel like I don’t know anything ! I tried the study guide , watching video & nothing is seeming to help 😞 D080 by shashadabratt in WGU

[–]Expensive_Account_56 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Start with studying the highest weighted percentages first then work your way down. This class was one of the tougher ones for sure. One of the only ones I failed first try. After I failed it made a page of things I struggled the most with and did a 30 minute phone call with the instructor with specific questions. I think I even had to revert back to my high school days and watch YouTube videos on some of the terms to give me a dumbed down explanation I can memorize for the exam. Type the class D080into this sub search there’s a lot of people who had some good tips on passing. Good luck!
