I may have stated this already on the forum, but I think an excellent way to "scout" your degree is to do a little research on LinkedIn. (IMO) If you don't have one already, you should. They also give military and veterans free access to the job-seeker level for a limited time. When I did it, it was for 60 months, but I hear lately that it is for 12 months.
So what I do, is enter into the search field the degree and school name, after you get a list on the side where you can filter the options some more, so go to the school menu and would click only "Western Governor's University" and you can see the titles and online resumes of people in your target industry. Excellent market research tool.

Don't waste time by trying to save time. The only sure way to complete your degree is to knock out credits quickly and efficiently.
Don't let easiness bite you in the rear. Know your endgame (where you want to be) and plan backward from there. Your education is a means to an end.
Be honest professionally, socially and academically. There are people (especially little ones) who look up to you and they're going by your example.
Be proud. Whether you're an Engineer or Fast Food worker, there is honor and dignity in hard work.
Picking on people weaker than you only proves that you are a weak person.
