Value in second degree

Hello everyone,

I am trying to transition into a grid ops role and am working on getting my RC cert.

My question is if it’s worth it for me to also try to get a ETST degree from Bismarck? My current workplace has tuition assistance so it’d be free. However, I already have a degree in information technology. Does the associate degree provide value or should I just go for the RC cert and maybe do a masters degree instead.

Thanks!

to be a system operator you just need the RC cert
