    Congratulations!! I can't wait to start school. It's too difficult in the unit I'm in because we go somewhere for a month at a time every other month. But again, congratulations.

    Congrats!
    I'm down to just a few programing classes left for my BS from WGU, I think my wife is looking forward to it as much as I am so she can see me more often, haha.

    Yeah going for my MBA was rough. I was out of pocket for at least 6 days out of the week. Glad that horror is over with!

    I'll be interested to see what the provided material entails, as the subject matter defined in the program outline seems very itneresting. Although I'm sure WGU provides proficient material, I've been inclined to look outside the provided resources to meet the assignment requirements for course completion. I've done that a lot with the undergrad material.

    The course material more or less aligns with the CISSP areas of study. I've found however, that a lot of the material provided is dated. In the realm of technology, 7 years is a lifetime. I've used external sources on almost every task I've submitted- except for the exception of the cyberlaw class.

    Congrats Iris!

    Congratulations! I'm sure its a huge weight off of your shoulders and it must be awesome not having to worry about class and studying for a certification at the same time. I'm doing that now and its a huge pain.

    On a related side note, I really want to get a class ring but I hate the price and look of the WGU ones. Using silver or gold would be horrible for me. I would tear it up at my job doing networking things. I bought myself a ring for my undergrad degree and the antiquing look wore off, the tarnish is all messed up and of course it's scratched all over. I was thinking of designing my own ring here:

    What do you guys think? Supposedly the metal is stronger than silver and gold. Anyone go this route before?

    I know you opted out going to graduation when you finished your BS. Are you going to attend graduation for your MS?

    Congrats and welcome to a pretty exclusive club Iris! I was soooo happy (and relieved) when I finished my MS. I've been waffling ever since on whether or not to go back and get my PhD from UT or Texas A&M. lol

    Ekk... I don't know yet! I am getting married this year so money and my schedule is pretty tight. It depends when and where it's going to happen I suppose.

    Congrats!!
    As someone just starting their MS, you give me hope it's possible! (Especially when looking at that time sink of doing all the coursework for the CEH!) :D

    Congrats.

    Still wondering if MSISA is for me or do MS:NM which makes me feel like I should just do the MBA IT instead ahhh choices choices.

    Good luck on your next goal!!!
