Absolutely. It's opened countless doors for me. I'm now a director in data analytics. While the degree serves as an initial checkbox, new technologies like generative AI have truly propelled my career to new heights. If I were in school now, I would prob choose a degree that also incorporates gen ai. Other than that, the degree has been great to have

@@DataManny Very happy to hear it. Hope to see you post more about your success it's inspiring.

It was a bit close 😂. But the headset is super comfortable

He was recording it not texting

Unfortunately not a lot of cell signal at 10000 ft but flying doesn’t take as much constant focus as driving since most of the time you can have the auto pilot help you out

@@DataManny true. doesnt apply with tesla tho they use cameras to spy on you 😃

@@test_user4504lol true. The plane I was flying is from the 70s. Literally zero spying capabilities 😅

I'm not sure. I'm skeptical of any paid schemes. The school itself has a lot of great resources so I personally wouldn't pay for anything extra

I encourage you to look at 1:33 where he addresses this very same point. 😊

One term of tuition 😊

Thank you so much. This comment means a ton. Best of luck on your WGU journey

Thank you 😊

Thanks a ton 😊

While it may take a bit longer, I would suggest pursuing a degree that you are passionate about. The content can be quite boring so having passion will let you get through it quicker

Nm . You would need to get in contact with your course mentor and discuss it. I failed a few and I just basically emailed them, advised them I would study the parts flagged as deficient, and they just unlocked it for me to retake

It depends on the courses your are transferring. I would say the layout of courses they put is pretty well structured. The only courses I moved around were the certification ones to spread it out more

I can understand that point of view. But I disagree. The courses are just as hard if not harder than a brick and mortar institution.

Hmm that sounds interesting. I’ll contact the school to see what the process would be

WGU only allows one degree at a time.

Speed Read 3P - 10 🙌🏽⚡️🙌🏽

Thank you. Speed reading has definitely helped me in soo many scenarios not just WGU. I became a huge fan of it 😊

You won't get a GPA letter after graduation. WGU is passed/not passed

How it went?

Any updates?

Hey David. That's a great career path. What I've found for Data Management, having a strong IT background is helpful, but having a business understanding is equally if not more important . I think your Help desk background will serve you great to get started on the degree and some of the courses (like the Network+) will directly take advantage of your help desk experience.

Thanks Jamie. I'll be working on more advance Excel videos with macros and pivot tables. Keep me posted if there is an topic you want me to cover 😊

Thanks so much April for watching. This channel is super new so let me know any questions you may have and I'll make a video out of it 😊

For the ITIL I used the same technique, but instead of a PA, I used practice tests online. Specifically, there is an ITIL app for about 4-5 bucks a month that gives you practice tests. Hope this helps and thank you so much for watching my video

@@DataManny thanks! So basically the same method, but it brings in supplementary information. Btw, I watched this video the day after starting my intro to cryptography class, it changed my whole method of studying and I passed the OA last night. This method is killer!!!

@@benarroyo wow that's really great to hear. I'm glad it worked for you. Thanks so much for sharing

Thanks for watching 😊

The certificate providers have been allowing remote testing within the past year via camera. I'm not sure if they still do offer it.

Wow so cool Chris. Thanks for watching my video 😊🙌

Not sure if there is any. I never handed an hs transcript. I did work on a technical resume and transferred college credits

Yes it will be. Your high school GPA has No effect

Thanks Dave. Feel free to DM me if u run into any hurdles. It's daunting at times but totally doable

It will be challenging but doable. I finished mine in 5 months with 28 credits transferred. If you keep a good pace you should be able to get it done for sure

@@DataManny thank you, i appreciate it.

Great question, thanks

Definitely a data analyst degree will serve you better for the data scientist route. I would say for data science you would need to pursue more statistics above the degree. Once you get the data analyst degree topping it off with a few data science certs will give you more of an emphasis to call yourself a data scientist. That said, a data scientist varies from job to job. So it all depends specifically what field are you going into (utilities, medical, etc...)
