Good news. I got the job and am in my first week! So happy, this marks the begining of my career change. My goal is to be a Network Admin. Whats the next logical move from here to get to my goal?
I also will start WGU 03/01/2013 and hoping to be done in two terms.
Thanks to everyone here for all the input and advice there is no way I could have gotten this far without this siteicon_cheers.gif

    Congrats!
    Yes, I am a criminal. My crime is that of curiosity. My crime is that of judging people by what they say and think, not what they look like. My crime is that of outsmarting you, something that you will never forgive me for.

    I just happened to luck out on the job. They like my interview alot even though i am no that experienced. They needed someone with my energy.
    Xocity we need to stay in contact so we can motivate each other lol. I should be done with WGU in a year so we will see what opportunities presents itself then.
