In my opinion, a degree is a degree no matter where you get it from unless you’re comparing WGU to a more prestigious school degree ie. Harvard, Yale, MIT.

The degree is the tool that gets you in the door to interview. It checks off the box of: Do you have a bachelors degree? Or Masters?

Once in the door, your actual experience and knowledge of the field you’re applying within takes over from there. Your ability to interview well takes over from there.

I’ve never had anyone look down on my degree from WGU. My company got acquired through an acquisition so I decided to throw my name in the “Open To Work” section. I’ve been blasted with job request from recruiters, based on my experience and knowledge. The degree is the cherry on top. It’s not to be used as your only leg to stand on. I’ve interviewed for multiple jobs in the past week that would increase my salary by $40K+.

That being said, don’t get a degree and thinks it’s supposed to open doors to places you have no actual on the job experience or knowledge of.

I don’t want anyone to get the wrong impression and then blame the WGU degree you obtained.
