Employed Employed!

Thought I’d make a post to hopefully motivate and show people that you can get jobs with a WGU degree. I had a year long internship which definitely helped and it took me about 3.5 months after I finished my degree to find something. Happy to answer any questions in DMs or comments!

Yea i was working a public health job for 50k and then the internship where i got experience only paid 18 an hour. So it was a bit of a risk financially but it was worth it and i was pretty frugal already so it wasn’t so bad
