Brehs with Degrees, Was the Degree you got worth the Student Loan???

Seems to be cool according to Forbes (even though article came out in August last year)
Western Governors University: The Best-Kept Secret In Online Colleges

And after checking reviews, most of the people who wrote negative reviews are ITT tech people with only experience there or people who have personal issues like not having an instructor 24/7 or admin issues

I just applied myself today and this is interesting.

Yes and No. Definitely overpaid for the MBA and could have found cheaper alternatives if I was smarter. But I don't think I would have gotten an interview that led me to my current position without it cuz I left undergrad with no skills and no connections...

I also had a lot of fun in grad school so I wouldn't change anything

I had a music scholarship


Didn’t really have to get heavy loans like that. It isn’t killing me like some of the horror stories online

On balance yeah

I mean I’m not in PR/Marketing/Comms because it’s just so damn insular and white I couldn’t crack it post-grad.

But having a degree at all has paid off. I see how they treat perfectly capable folks out here just cause they don’t have the piece of paper. Plus I had a lot of fun in college.

No scholarship, but I was blessed to have my dad pay the first few years of my schooling. Will finish paying off the loans I did receive this year.

It was worth it for me. Went into engineering, and have been able to secure my family and I with a nice salary and job security.
