its official i have finally graduated from WGU (BS-IT-Security ). i received an email from them saying "Congratulations Graduate! Through dedication and diligence you have achieved your academic goals. Your graduation is official and your student status has been updated in our system. " i could have graduated 2 semesters ago but i got burned out. c173 (python-last class) took me a while to do and its because i had 0 interest in studying but i got a high score in the final assessment. Mentor was VERY helpful. through out the whole time i was at WGU, he allowed me to do what i wanted and he used to push me and encourage me to finish as much classes as i can. At first i used to get weekly calls from him and then it was every other week and then maybe once a month . but he always replied to my emails...at times in the middle of the night i would send him an email and he would reply. i once emailed him at 2 am... when i woke up..there was a reply waiting for me! i am currently a system admin and the plan is to get into security. hopefully pen testing. for the past couple weeks i have been studying for the OSCP. im hoping to finish reading "hacker's playbook 2" in couple weeks and practice on vulnhub and then sign up for the course.
now i have about 10 years of IT exp + CompTIA certs + CCNA RS, CCNA Sec and now a BS. hopefully once i get the OSCP i will be able to get into Security.

Congrats, but unless you're aiming specifically to be a pen tester, start applying for security jobs now.
