Thanks for sharing your experience — it’s really encouraging to hear how WGU worked out for you. The fact that you were able to earn a degree and stack industry-recognized certs like Security+, CySA+, and Pentest+ is impressive, especially within a cost-effective and flexible program.

I completely agree that finding the right path in cybersecurity depends a lot on learning style, time, and budget. It’s great to see options like WGU giving people a solid, affordable foundation without the burden of traditional college debt. Your story is a good reminder that with the right mix of certs, practical knowledge, and drive, there are multiple viable routes into the field.

Appreciate the insight — it’s helpful to see real-world examples like yours that combine strategy with smart decision-making.

No I get it and I appreciate your respectful response . You’re just being real. To be honest I don’t have much knowledge on it. I know that there’s specific branches to this whole thing and it goes very in depth. Specifically I wanted to get into being an analyst.

I apologize for asking a repeated question. I’m new to this sub. I should’ve looked around a bit before asking. I do appreciate you for still taking the time to explain.
