in IT Jobs / Degrees
I will tell you a little about my adventure in the IT world. I started back in 1995 doing help desk for Internet provider. Well 17 years later was just offered the job of a lifetime and great money and relocation. I worked hard on certifications and education and expierence I have to say it does pay off in the long run. It does take time. I can not express this enough learn as much as possible from yourself, online, and from others as it will help. It is amazing but things i learned back when getting into IT always seem to come back around. Work hard and it will pay off. I start my new position on Dec. 27th.
CCNA, MCP, MCSA, MCSE, MCDST, MCITP Enterprise Administrator, Working towards Networking BS. CCNP is Next.
