The inspiration from this video has come from a few viewer comments so I figured I would just a make a video talking about it!

In this video, I'll answer these two comments
Talk about my experiences with employers and my WGU degrees
Address whether or not you even need a degree
Talk about some of my friends experiences, their degreee status and their jobs/salaries
And finally, We'll answer this user's comment!

Smash like and let us begin!
