Re: CCNA with no degree and no experience
I am in a slightly different boat but in the same body of water. I cant say how much you will make but I can say that my CCNA and CCNA:S (along with my comptias) and a few years of exp (my 3rd year of IT was in Feb) and I can say that it has been somewhat difficult. I don't have a whole lot of networking experience so it… -
Re: When is it okay to get a cert and when is it not?
Who says you need a certification to learn and love the technology. I have found most of the true technologst that "love" technology don't get certs anyway. They do what they have to do to meet those requirements and they are out. They "love" it as much as you do, but they don't feel the need to certify themselves. They… -
Re: Bye Bye jobs...
I worked in a telco's NOC that ended up being offshored to South America. The guys on that team were lifers with no aspirations to do more than work tickets. When the time came for layoffs and they had to look for other jobs in the company, other teams didn't want these guys that clearly lacked ambition. The SOC manager… -
Re: At what point do you just kind of give up?
Here you go Thacker. A template you can play with. At one point education was at the bottom, thats why there is another section at the bottom with "Systems", "Languages", and "Software". Might make more sense to have them both in the same location. Also, i'm not sure if I like CompTIA to the side like that. I was trying to… -
Re: 70-680 and A+ in 2 Months?
70-680 was a damn hard test for me, and i scored 700/1000, barely made it. And I already had my MCSA on W2K3 and took the 70-680 when it was XP. I've been professionally supporting it since it came out. However, I only studied for the 70-680 for 2 weeks, (8 hours a day mind you). My study resources were the 70-680 Windows… -
Re: Unfortunately failed
I apologize for the confusion. I currently have my Security+, not my Server+. Though, I am looking to possibly study for the Server+ after I take and pass the A+. My goal is to have my A+, Network+, Security+, Server+, and Convergence+ certs by 2010. I am also trying to earn my Masters degree in Computer Security… -
Re: Need some inspiration...
I'm in a similar boat, I have had my BS in computer science for a year this December, since then I have been studying for my A +, and Network +, alternating between the two. Recently I've been considering scrapping CompTIA certs and going for MCSA: Win 7,8 and maybe a server cert to help with with future jobs. For me, its… -
Re: Exam Cram vs. Mike Meyer's for Net+
TreyClem18, I am currently using both the ExamCram and Mike Meyer's books to study for the Network+ exam I am going to take sometime next month. I mainly use the ExamCram to study from. I use the Mike Meyer's book as a reference guide to get more information that the ExamCram does not cover. I would highly recommend using… -
Re: What type of work do you do? (A+ certifcation related)
I think anyone who wants to get into the IT field needs to have a solid background working on computers and knowing the technology. It doesn't matter what you want to do down the road in the IT field. If you want to specialize in networking or systems administration you will need it. Since the A+ certification like almost… -
Re: Job opinions please
I'd say look deeper into the company, find out any reviews you can from others that may have worked with this company, and then make the decision. Overall, seeing that you are wanting to go into management, this sounds like a great start. I know there are tons of IT managers on this site, and I believe N2IT has tons of…
