    WGU is a popular option for school that is more budget and time-friendly. Have you run into issues applying to jobs that required a degree?

      Applying for jobs that require a degree or stupid amount of experience and a case that is biting me in the ass even though I served my time with probation and would rather stupid people in middle management and hr would mind their own business instead of googling up my name and finding an article that is riddled with misinfo and other stuff that isn’t true which is already causing me problems. Been debating about suing for defamation of character on multiple “journalist” platforms on articles that really are defamation of character and also dox my info plus other shenanigans.

          Yeah. Pretty awful. Took a look at WGU and will definitely give it a try with some of its standalone courses before committing to a full degree program. Also looking at several other unis and colleges. Might be a good idea to go somewhere out of state, so I can get away from some of my stress.
