How much stock to put in degree title? /u/DustingMop CSCQ protests reddit

I’m currently employed in SWE, and have 3.5 YOE. However, I only have my Associates.

I want to take this a step further and finally get my Bachelors degree. I, like many, am taking the route of going through WGU. I was looking at my courses and what transfers, and Im nearly 40% completed credit wise for either BS Comp Sci or BS Software Engineering through WGU. The only really difference is that BSSWE seems more focused on SWE courses (obviously) and BSCS seems more generalized and requires more math.

Do you think it’s a bad idea to go the BSSWE route? Someone I spoke to said it could be fine since I already have experience, but at the same time… the “it could be fine” statement doesn’t make me ooze with confidence.

BSSWE is obviously the easier side, but does that necessarily make it worse?
