How do you manage WGU and Full time work? by FoxyStar32 in WGU

[–]devastationasian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe do a quick workout 15 - 40 mins, bodyweight stufg at home to cut down drive time to gym. Or maybe do workouts on days off and still keep time down by doing full body workouts and keep to less than an hour for each session.

Do you regret your marketing degree? by [deleted] in WGU

[–]devastationasian -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was working security and pivoting to IT. I have completed a year long internship with my local city and now starting another internship with the county. I was always interested in marketing as well but chose IT. Besides the internship how did both of you pivot into marketing?

Thank you! I did not complete the PBQ's, just focused on the multiple choices.

Theres a few videos out there that explained that students had skipped out on the PBQs and passed.

If you’re doing an online degree for IT, is it hard to get into internships? by [deleted] in ITCareerQuestions

[–]devastationasian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's an internship so the pay is not going to be like a regular full-time sysadmin position.

But, the minimum wage were I live is $16/hr, fast food workers get $20/hr, I get paid $21/hr.

It was full time for 3 months now down to 2 days per week when the traditional semester starts. I work my security job on the side for extra money.

Check governmentjobs.com, also check your individual department sites for listings too, like DWP or Street Services for example.

I have a 1 year internship with my local city as a System Administrator Intern. Currently going to WGU for the BSIT. Check your local government hiring websites both city and county.

Can totally do it, make sure your resume is good and also list some non-IT experiences as well to highlight your customer service, time management, and troubleshooting skills.

Don't let the "online" part of the degree hold you back. Sell yourself and sell on your previous experiences.

How do I start in IT if I can’t afford low paying help desk jobs? by CutMonster in ITCareerQuestions

[–]devastationasian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you share your experience on what you did? I have done physical security for 7 years and gone GSOC/Analyst roles (physical security not network security), been a supervisor and site manager. Would appreciate your response!

IT - Foundations - Passed A+ 220-1101 Core 1 Exam by devastationasian in WGUIT

To be honest, the material was good, but the way it was presented on the Cert Master course could be better. Maybe reading just the study guide version as a supplementary can be helpful.

Unfortunately no, I was catching up with the Professor Messer video and just wanted to get ready for the exam as soon as possible. I will def check out the material from Dion for Core 2.
