I have zero interest in getting the certs or working a Networking job. The certs cost hundreds of dollars and it's been so long since I've been out of the Cisco line of work I'd have to re-study all of that shit. Way too much time and money wasted on something I don't want anything to do with.
Coding bootcamps cost so much more money than WGU. WGU costs $3200 per 6 months and they let you complete as much as you want in those 6 months, people there are powering through bachelor's degrees in 1 year. They'll take my credits from my Associate's so I'm already half way done, so I know I can definitely power through in a year already being half way there. I can basically finish a bachelor's for $6400, plus a bunch of CompTIA and other certs come with the degree. Coding bootcamps cost like $10000+ and will take almost as long. I feel like I'll get way more out of WGU than a coding bootcamp.
