Hello! I am an aspiring front end developer. I have decided to go back to college, and I am considering the WGU, CompSc bachelor program. I really like the idea of a self paced program. I am apprehensive for a few reasons. I want to get as much out of a college program as possible, and I’m not entirely concerned with getting through it as fast as possible. My other concern is that potential employers may not take the degree as seriously as a state college. Love to hear from any HR or senior devs

I've never discredited someone for attending a state college. it might depend on the situation but I think if you can show the knowledge and skill needed, that is what HR reps care most about. Also, if you have the chance to get some real-world experience while in school that is always a plus in your favor.
