Did you run through the WGU at all? I'm looking at it and wondering if it'd be worth it. It's hard to do undergrad while working full time. I'd love to go back and either finish my BS CompEng or do something else (Information Assurance?).
Looked at WGU, and not sure if I want to play the get a degree based on the certs I have route.
I've gone so far as talking with an admissions person there and came pretty close to enrolling but decided not to (financial reasons at the time).
I've since decided that it'd be cheaper/easier to go to a community college and knock out the first 2 years and then transfer over to WGU. I liked what I heard from the counselor and the thing that gets my interest the most is that it's competency-based instead of credit based. Something that allows me to work at my own pace and fly through as much as possible, as fast as possible, is definitely a plus in my book. The fact that certifications can earn you additional credit is a bonus.
I would think it all depends on how you prefer to learn though. If you're very independent and enjoy the self-study route then I'm sure it'd probably be a good match.
