Career Advice

KnightStriker

Hi all, I got laid off from my job the other day. I was doing Desktop Support for 8 months by myself so it was good experience. I am not sure what to do now since it was my first job after College. I have a BA in Computer Science and been looking around for some jobs. I am interesting in Linux since I use it frequently with Mac and Windows. I was also studying before a bit for ccna. What career advice do you guys recommend for me now. Thanks so much for your time.

Im curious of what the difference is between a BA and BS in Computer Science...

Anyway step one would be to just get a job. Any job. Does not have to be tech related.
Second step would be to go for whatever it is you like. Since youre studying for CCNA, try and get back into desktop support/NOC tech/Jr admin stuff.
You say you like Linux. Do what want to administer it? Study for a lower Linux exam and see if you really like it.

Also Im assuming you know a bit of programming from your degree, why not use that?
Seems like you just have to find what you like and head in that direction.

1.) Look for another job asap. 2.) Collect unemployment till you do so. 3.) Figure out what you are interested in a.) networking b.) systems administration c.) database etc...then obtain the certs that you want to specialize in.
