hi, goatama, oscp is a 3 month training + 3 month exam preparing process. so i began my study at the every beginning of the year, and still haven't got it.

So you started studying for the OSCP in January, while you were studying/taking the CCNP exams which you finished in May? All while taking college classes?

I don't know what is more confusing this or DM's situation. Best of luck

that is really interesting, i will keep it in mind. so you also went into IT after graduated with a math degree?

I did IT for a while in the 90's, then went back to school to finish my math degree. After that, I went to graduate school, thinking perhaps I'd go the path of academia. I taught math for a while, but I realized it wasn't going to work for me in the long run, so then I went back to IT. In retrospect, staying in IT from the beginning may have been wiser. As you said in a later post, it's hard to find a job with just a math degree. Math is foundational and versatile, but not very employable by itself.

I didn't do CS because I never cared much for programming. Networking and hardware, on the other hand, I enjoyed a lot. I think if I had to do school all over again, I would have done a degree in electrical engineering while also working on some certifications like you have. And then I would have tried to go straight into a networks role out of school.

I have the same kind of feeling toward CS, just cant find a crush on it. recently i do practice some leetcode with my friend at the library, who is cs major and got an offer from bloomberg. he told me so many times to pick up programming, so he can help me get an reference. but still, i find network engineering way more satisfying.
E&E wouldn't be a challenge for a math major, and you can always find a good part-time graduate program near you.
