Finally got A+ passed

Hi all and my name is Joel, bough voucher about almost about a year ago, I didn't feel like I was confident enough to pass the test so I got distracted start playing games and forgot all about it then I realize the reason I felt that way because everybody around me was putting me down telling me you couldn't succeed you couldn't do Nothin with your life so I knew my computer stuff and knew my network stuff I fix computer repair computer and build computer and I learned it throughout so many years of experience hand on study but never took my a+ certification since my voucher was about to expire in one day left I decided to what the heck if I fail then I fail, what I didn't know is that I pass on 801 Hardware and did pretty good so I had about 1 month left to finish 802 or I have to start over because new 900 series. So I started to panic and study software with just certmaster even though I knew software a lot. I took the test in 2 week reviews what I know and don't know and pass the 802 too. So I become A+ certified on May 9 2016 I'm looking for advancement what do you guys think I should study next? Cause getting paid 9 dollar per hours on support center really blow. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, it does but do not forget to learn as much as you can in the position or in any others. The knowledge is priceless.

Congrats!

Depending on what you want to advance to, you can take the Net+ and then the Sec+ after that you can branch out to specific certs that interest you.

My first post was done under my phone, Sorry. I Didn't have a goal in mind beside work in IT Department, but I getting drawled in to Security. I read a few thing about CISSP but from what I have read require at least 5 years experience in 2 domain out 8. I have only A+ and I don't think that is enough to get in there so, i'm soon going to be enrolling to WGU. I need to do my homework first on WGU as I seen lots of thread post people talk good about it. My past experience with ITT was horrible 50k for 1 year out 2 year for networking so I never finish it.. I didn't want to be debt for rest of my life with no chance of getting a job. I need some guidance how can I get there CISSP Which cert should i got next? I got MTA Test coming this Monday is Windows Operating System Fundamentals 98-349 that I study for which was easy but let see what exam will be like. What do you think I should go next after my MTA? to get into 2 domain out 8 I dunno. Help would be greatly appreciate it.

Congrats on becoming A+ certified Joel! Your A+ should definitely bump you up pass $9.00 easily. The answer to what you should study next really depends on what you are passionate about in I.T. There are a ton of I.T certs, but you have to choose the path that interests you the most and then persue them.

50k for 1 year of school is outrageous. Don't your local community college offer some programs that can also count towards a degree?

Get a good foundation for networking before you go into security, because security is all about networking. If you want to shoot for CISSP, I would suggest you first go Security+ and then spring board to CISSP.

ITT Tech is a massive ripoff! They charge and IN$ANE amount of money just get to an Associates Degree that won't even transfer to a 4 year school. They and other "schools" like them should be called "predator educators". A good friend of mine went to a school similar to ITT called TEEST Institute of Technology. He regrets doing it.
