*if you transfer in the certs, it satisfies that course completely. I misspoke on the first couple classes saying you still have to do the paper.

I officially completed the MSCIA at WGU this week. Finished in one term. Just waiting patiently for my Owl.

[@alexsheppe]

Good job bro!!

[@Franklin.Holguin]

Hey @Rell-eu8wv, I'm about to start my Master, if you want to share any inside, please, you are more than welcome or any advise.

[@TMartins379]

I’m trying to do the same. How did you do it?

[@thechillmaster5836]

How was the program?

[@Rell-eu8wv]

@@thechillmaster5836 it’s actually a well constructed program and each course builds off the last one. I feel like I got a lot out of it

[@David_USC]

Just what I needed, straight to the point. Good video 👌🏾

[@thechillmaster5836]

How was the MS? I heard mixed reviews about it. I have the BSCIA from WGU

[@brianramirez8812]

Id adjust the lighting Brighter,and maybe add something to your back round so it’s not just a blank wall? That’s just me I’d get the lighting to where you don’t have a shadow in the back round and adjust the camera to where I don’t see the corner of the wall

[@T4KKFI]

We want to know about all three of those options hands down

[@ketoninja]

The gain is a little high on the mic. The topic is spot on though! Thanks

[@alexsheppe]

Yep this was just one individual video I was testing out settings. Every other one will appear normal. Thanks!!

[@michaelcalzada8814]

Hi, was not clear to me from your video if I transfer in CompTIA PenTest+ do I still need to write a paper for D484 Penetration Testing or the 4 credits are granted?

[@alexsheppe]

You’ll get the credit, no paper needed. I misspoke in that part of the video, clarified in the description.

[@gerainecomer8223]

I have a B.S. in psychology and currently making the transition over into tech. Currently enrolled in Google cybersecurity program to learn the basics. Thinking about enrolling in WGU but don’t know if I should get another Bachelors or Masters could any body give me some insight or path recommendations?

[@93ksj]

I’m already enrolled to get my Cybersecurity bachelors, how viable would it be to get a second Cloud Computing bachelors from WGU to go along with it and seek for those Cloud Security roles in the future?

[@skylergardner2792]

I personally would never recommend getting two bachelors, especially in essentially adjacent fields such as IT and Cyber. You'd be better off going for a master's after your bachelor's if you really feel the need. Especially since it's shorter at one to two years. A master's could compliment your bachelor's in Cybersecurity, something in IT, business, etc. But you might not even really need it.

[@jbs2763]

Little loud bro… My plan is the BSCC then thr cyber security masters

[@alexsheppe]

Sounds like a solid path. And I'll adjust next video, experimenting with things and ended up a little loud.

[@FinancewithXibaobao]

It's making you louder boom on the sentences.

[@alexsheppe]

This is the only video.

[@FinancewithXibaobao]

@@alexsheppe yes

[@mouradali8270]

I don't understand if you transfer in a cert, do you still have to do the paper to get the course equivalency?

[@alexsheppe]

No, I misspoke.

[@dayanna024]

do you recommend this degree for someone with no tech background who seeks a career change? I have a bachelors in biology looking to get into cybersecurity and thinking of pursuing this program to obtain both the certifications/education in one go and break into the industry. How difficult do you think it would be to complete this in 1-2 terms if so? TIA

[@alexsheppe]

Hi Dayanna, out at the moment, I’ll try to get back to you later.

[@alexsheppe]

Cyber is a hard field to break into. A Masters and a bunch of certs could work, if you try your first job maybe something more IT. Honestly it’s hard for me to give an opinion on this. I would try to look up some videos and reddit posts on what a cybersecurity analyst does everyday and see if that’s something you’d like to do. If you want to do it, go for it. You can also check out the Data Analytics Masters as Data Analysts would be easier to break into.

[@Carlos-Saldana]

Ok so for clarification if you have casp + you get credit for security foundations AND architecture and engineering? It’s listed for both of them

[@alexsheppe]

Yes

[@Carlos-Saldana]

@@alexsheppe wow!

[@anthonyserrano2046]

Would you recommend that I get a bachelors degree from wgu in cs then getting the masters in cyber security from wgu?

[@alexsheppe]

Yes

[@urfinaj6178]

Are you able to cover the MIS degree at SNHU?

[@alexsheppe]

I had Information Technology lined up for that school but I’ll see what I can do!

[@c0balt969]

Audio pretty scratchy

[@alexsheppe]

I’m aware, was tinkering with settings. The rest the videos should sound fine. Thank you for your feedback!

[@djtar489]

I don't like the new setup. You're too close to the mic and the audio is clipping. In your video below the audio was perfect: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5PcqoSpjpmmpa8si=GzoKz3UfF7zY92zW

[@alexsheppe]

It’s just this video because I was testing some things out.
