Getting into I.T

Sylice

So I recently received an Honorable Discharge, I also have a Secret Security Clearance. I've always wanted to get into Information Technolgy, every since I was a little boy.

So, I will be attending this program soon:

And I will also start with certs such as CCNA and Security+... My goal is to become a Network Engineer. Do you guys think I'm taking the proper route?

All advice is welcomed!

Find some way to keep your clearance active while you are going to school. By active I mean having used it in the last two years. It will probably help you get a job especially if you're in a DoD heavy area.
