My WGU IT Management Degree Action Plan

[@raqibalboa6373]

Yasssss cause I want to be VP of customer relations and engagement and this is exactly what I need. I was a customer success specialist for several years. And applying for new jobs I see they want us to now have degrees. Thank you. I’m subscribing and binge watching.

Awesome. There's no time like the present, my friend. If you have questions, feel free to ask here or connect with me on LinkedIn.

Awesome video! The trello workboard looks very efficient, I will adopt this method as well! Keep up the good work!!!

[@mstonua]

Thank you! In it to win it - Really appreciate your videos.

[@tehczavier]

Awesome. Thank you for your support! I'm glad you found it helpful!

[@aubreybartschi9017]

You would make a wonderful Enrollment Counselor! 😉

[@michaels8086]

He would be. Unfortunately, they don't make much money.

Same bachelors degree I got from WGU. I then with for the MSITM right after.

[@tehczavier]

I took a look at the Masters program, but decided not to take it because I didn't want to spend $4,000 for another degree. However, I am going to pursue the project management certification.

[@DNKMN56]

@@tehczavier Makes sense. I only went for a masters to open up management role. You do not really need a masters to get into management. I my self was already a manager with only a bachelors. However, there are some manger role that require a masters. As for a project management certification I would recommend the PMP. If your lean more towards agile project management I would also recommend the PMI-ACP or the CSM/PSM.

[@tehczavier]

@@DNKMN56 thank you. I will definitely look into both of those certs amd add it to my 2023 learning roadmap. I appreciate all of your guidance. Happy New Year and much success to you!

How long it took u

[@JacksonLloyd952]

Awesome!

[@tehczavier]

Thank you!

[@Journeywithgailc]

thanks for the information, I am trying to get in WGU too , but they need me to get comptia plus.

[@tehczavier]

You're welcome. Are you going for the Information Technology B.S or the IT Management B.S.?

[@Journeywithgailc]

@@tehczavier I'm going for the masters in cybersecurity, I have a Bachelor degree in Mgt so in order for me to get in to do a Masters in Cybersecurity I would have to get a prerequisite as Comptia plus is what they told me.

[@tehczavier]

@@Journeywithgailc I see. That makes sense.

[@michaels8086]

Great video. I keep hearing about the proctored exams. I have taken a few of those before. Just wondering how many proctored exams did you end up doing with this program?

[@tehczavier]

I can't remember the exact amount but if you check out the video--specifically the description--I have a list of the courses and whether they require an exam, a paper, or both. Hope this helps. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWScqmmGfsmqr80

[@musabs5848]

Hey I plan on starting this but I’m kind of scared on how easy it will be to find a job. Thoughts?

[@tehczavier]

Are you currently working in IT?

[@musabs5848]

@@tehczavier no I have no work experience. What kind of job would you recommend for me to look for?

[@Jes1919]

Thinking of doing this degree and then masters in dat analytics

[@tehczavier]

That's a great plan!! Understanding, interpreting, and modeling data are all great skills.

[@bulba888]

do you have a video covering strategy for General IT in WGU ? i cant find

[@tehczavier]

Unfortunately, I do not.

[@mocajesussaysdie]

Question: do you need to pass any certifications like the ITIL in the Business Admin IT Management degree? I saw people saying the Business- IT applications course required that cert for the cybersecurity program and making sure that’s not the case in this program. I’m about to start and I’m so nervous so any info you have is greatly appreciated 👌🏾

[@tehczavier]

The ITIL Cert doesn't apply to this degree--trust me I tried. But if you're taking a more technical degree program, then it does apply.

[@mocajesussaysdie]

@@tehczavier Thanks boss! I really appreciate you taking the time to let me know! I look forward to more of your videos 🙌🏾

[@tehczavier]

@@mocajesussaysdie I appreciate you too. I'm happy to help any way I can 👍🏾.

[@markohashira777]

What's your plan on paying tuition? FAFSA and scholarships?

[@tehczavier]

I paid completely out-of-pocket.

[@Eugenouse]

Why though? it would most likely have been free with Pell grant @@tehczavier

[@Brilliantick99]

I went to college more thd 5 years ago. Do those classes and credits not transfer in now?

[@tehczavier]

Actually they should. I transferred community college credits from 2005 as a returning student in 2022 at WGU. I think you'll be fine 👍🏾

[@bigbrotherinlife1654]

I'm stuck between Cyber Security Risk Assurance and Accounting Degree, might see if I could possibly do both simultaneously

[@tehczavier]

If I found myself stuck, I might ask myself which of the two options meets most of these needs: 1. Financial cost and financial opportunity 2. Time to learn and time to land a role 3. Ease

[@abbylynn8872]

Go tech.... just saying.... then you can do Accounting in a second term. They don't offer dual enrollment due to their regional/national accreditation.

[@GhostDaddy87]

starting soon. what are best certs for this degree?

[@tehczavier]

This degree doesn't have any certs as part of the program. However, I took the ITIL certification before deciding to go back to school, and I found it really helpful in understanding the business/workflow side of IT.

[@DNKMN56]

Yep there is no certification for the bachelors level of the program. However, if you get the Masters in Information Technology Management you can get the Certified Associate in Project Management certification (CAPM) from PMI.

[@tehczavier]

@@DNKMN56 I didn't know that! Thank you for sharing!

[@GhostDaddy87]

@@DNKMN56 yeah i knew that one. i guess i meant the best to get on your own, thanx. prob going accounting when terms up

[@DNKMN56]

@@tehczavier Anytime! I actually completed both the Bachelors and the Master program in Information Technology Management from WGU.

[@Brilliantick99]

How hard is this degree

[@tehczavier]

It's one of the easiest in my opinion. I have a breakdown of what the classes were like--at least the ones I took.
