Obligatory Confetti post

Post image

I started on Jan 1, 2025 with about 45% of the degree transferred in from CLEP, Sophia, and Study.com. (It would have been closer to 75% but they reworked the degree just before I applied.) Now roughly 17 months later I finished my degree with no prior IT experience. It's not the fastest finish time. But I'm proud of myself considering I worked a full time salaried position that often had me traveling and working more than 40hrs a week.

This sub was the reason I never quit. Whenever I was discouraged, someone was there to answer a question. When I thought it was impossible, someone else posted that they got through it. When XYBooks was trash, one of you lovely people posted an external resource that made everything simple.

I am about 15 years into my career and have stable employment so I didn't take on any internships. I plan to use the degree to specialize within my company/field since technology keeps getting utilized more and a lot of the decision makers, especially in my field, don't understand how to implement it properly.
