WGU Cybersecurity Degree: Honest Review Halfway Through

I'm 49% through WGU's Bachelor's in Cybersecurity and Information Assurance, and this is my honest halfway review. I cover what the WGU cybersecurity degree is actually like from the inside, how long it really takes, what the certifications add, and whether the accelerated competency-based model is worth it. If you're deciding between WGU cybersecurity and a traditional degree, this is the review I wish existed before I enrolled.
