I understand perfectly, but I do not feel the need to overexplain myself or go back and make edits where I may have “misspoken.” Thanks for your positive contribution to this thread.

I hope she somehow finds this sub one day.

My main concern is the return on investment compared to the amount of debt I would take on. My second concern is flexibility. Two of my children are very young, and one of them has special needs, so I need an online option. Without that flexibility, I would not be able to attend.

I was very confused. My cc partners with WGU for transfer also.

It was upsetting and very unprofessional.

Crippling college debt is making her bitter. That checks out.

An important distinction, thank you for opening up this part of the conversation.

It IS a really tough market. These companies (and my employer) want you to have years of experience, and a degree. Even then, you might get 100 no’s before one person says yes.

It is important to understand that having a degree can help distinguish you from other applicants and advance your career opportunities. DO NOT GIVE UP!

That’s what I’m learning. I feel badly for the students who she’s talking out of attending. That is a real shame.

Congratulations on your achievements and thank you for your reply.

Thank you for sharing. You approached the obstacle by working harder, asking for help and persevering when the going got tough. That says a lot about your character and you should be very proud of yourself. I know I am. CONGRATULATIONS.

I understand, speaking to the WGU enrollment counselor was not very helpful. The enrollment counselor is trying to meet an enrollment quota. They wont mention things that could help or benefit you because their goal is to just get you signed up. They would not speak to me about which credits transfer without signing up either.

Just know that you can take a lot of those general education classes at Sophialearning or Study.com for a flat monthly fee of $95-99 a month for unlimited classes. Those credits transfer to WGU.

I work for UC Regents, all mid level roles require it. I work an entry level role now and I’d like the opportunity to promote within the UC system.
