Re: How to get ramped up for a System Admin Position?
Thanks a lot guys for your response. However a new twist has come up. A fortune 500 company is looking for hard ware refresh team to come in as a contract set up. It would be a PM, Team lead (me), and 3-10 techs, refreshing machines and doing break fixes. Not as glamourous on the outside, but a much large glass ceiling and… -
Re: 300 hours of Labs per exam?
Comment by Todd Burrell · · Home› Certification Preparation› Microsoft› MCTS / MCITP on Windows 2008 GeneralI agree with citinerd's comments above - I doubt I spent more than 300 hours TOTAL labbing for passing all 8 of the tests for my MCSE:Security. But I agree with all of the other comments too - it all depends on your level of experience. I come from a background where I have been a mainframe systems programmer for over 20… -
Re: Overgeneralized and overworked. Unsure of next step. Long rant!
Since when is middle management this great big ideal. Frankly a true specialist has a far better deal. 60/70/80 hr weeks, Senior management who don't have a clue but still give you unattainable goals, Stupid employees you "have to deal with". 24/7 on call in reality, No time to actually do what interests you. Listening to… -
Re: How many certs do you study for at one time?

Re: Where should I expect to land in Information Security and how?
The last time I worked in an IT professional capacity was in 2001. I don't have any "current" technical skills because I've been in the Army for those years. I have done a little site administration and web page development while in the military but I feel comfortable that I could "pick/learn" any technical skill if given… -
Re: CCNP, CISSP: What do I do next?
It shouldn't, WGU does not have AACSB accred. for the MBA which is big among the fortune 500. As a WGU graduate if I were going for my MBA I would actually be attending the University of Florida distance program... if it weren't so gosh darn expensive! Instead I went the MS:ISA route from WGU to obtain the NSA CNSS 4011 &… -
Re: Help an old military working dog learn some new tricks??
There are ground floor opportunities, but cyber/info assurance isn't as young as those folks think. FISMA has been mandating info sys. programs, which include the things like vulnerability scanning and pentesting, all the way back since 2002. While FISMA only applies to federal agencies (and contractors), corporations… -
Re: Southern New Hampshire University MS Information Security
I graduate from SNHU with my BA in InfoTech in a few months. Due to my lack of experience, I am in no place to offer advice. However, I am fairly certain that most people here will advise against this. If you already have a graduate degree, getting a second one is going to have a significantly reduced return on investment.… -
Re: Conflicting Information? Iron Triangle/Tripple Constraint
Erick Vurzuh refers to the triple constraints and is very illustrative of their meaning. He talks about Time, Money, quality and I honestly believe it is the "MOST" right apporach. When it comes to the PMP and Project+, the triple contraint refers to Time, Cost and Scope. For a project manager in the trenches the… -
Re: Relationship Advice
Speaking as an older person on this forum (late 40's) it has been my experience that most women do not like ultimatums (like leave me if you don't like something). I'd recommend asking her the amount of time she thinks you need to study and try to compromise and work out a schedule that works for both of you. I have had…
