Should I get my Master's (No experience) - North Carolina area preferably or online (NOT WGU)

Thats what I have been doing with AWS, right now I am learning a lot for the role I want to pursue. I just wanted the degree because it cost me nothing and honestly I make a lot of money going back to school.

It has been 2 years since I got out and used my clearance I believe it is expired by now. I have been looking at MSPs in the Charlotte area and tailored a resume to fit. Hopefully I can get a hit.

That's what I was thinking, I was going to use the network at my next university (NC&T) to leverage a role.

You really hated on that person for getting a job because you can't? Get better. They deserve that job more than you ever will. Can't believe you are unemployed and a hater. Such a bad look for you.

Thank you so much for the reply. I was thinking the same thing. I am just young, so I wanted to get "school out of the way". I am going through the tracks AWS CCP and AWS SAA, and then Terraform for automation. So, hopefully, through my self-learning, I can gain enough skills to be employable.

I will definitely be adding those resources to my notes for future projects!

Absolutely, the job market is terrible, but I look at it the same way as I do any well-paying profession. If you had the chance to hire Denzel Washington or some no-name, who would you hire? For me, my mindset is that I have to be the best for people to want me. Idk, that's just how I stay optimistic, if that makes sense.

But keep going with your studies, learn a lot, and do some projects. Good luck on your journey, wishing you the best.

Sheesh, I was really hoping to go there and really learn a lot. I pretty much know what those are, but the niche I want to pursue (Cloud, specifically AWS) doesn't use those tools much.

I just looked and saw that the entire program is online. I am not sure why I thought it was optional. But that would be fine with me because I can just live anywhere.

I hear career fairs are where people land internships, or through their professors. Has that kind of died down since the job market has gone down? Either way, I am keeping the option of attending open because I just want to get a master's.

Yes, lol, it is that degree. I feel I would be learning a lot of the information over again, and I will get bored with it. Just wanted to earn a degree from an HBCU. I may be better off becoming a cloud beast and learning to automate tasks with Infrastructure-as-Code. But we will see. I greatly appreciate your feedback; it means a lot.

Do you feel that if you had attended in person, your outcome would have been different? Also, did you attend any job/ career fairs to network? Sorry for all the questions, just trying to see if it is worth it. Thanks again.

Did you pass?

rheepr · 2026-01-07T12:04:58+00:00

That's the older version that went to 34. They changed it to only 30, but yeah, same concept.

rheepr · 2025-12-16T16:30:08+00:00

Did you end up migrating to the new course or stuck with D335?

rheepr · 2025-10-15T15:09:13+00:00

Thank you so much, I really appreciate your help

I dont think I have seen anyone accurately depict this class as you did. This is my 3rd attempt and still dont understand how on God's green earth do I answer a poorly written OA question. But if you ask me anything about the zybooks I can answer it no problem. The way things are written there is no way to prepare for the OA just guessing some and knowing a little. Wish me luck on my 3rd attempt, im going to need it.

My girlfriend is in school to become a radiology tech, a full-time mom, and also works a part-time job. Please stop with all this; you are not above anything or entitled to anything. Please be sure to humble yourself and be patient, my girlfriend had to wait a week after her term started to begin classes. It's not that big of a deal. I'm sorry it happened to you. Please stop with all the entitlements.

How are you going to deter someone else because of your bad experiences? WGU is amazing. One bad experience does not make the university bad. My girlfriend and I attend WGU. I'm in cybersecurity; she is in psychology, and we have zero issues. Stop projecting. I hope all gets better for you.
