Re: WGU: Security OR Software?
You hit the nail on the head, my friend; in your heart and mind you KNOW you don't want to do a job because it's "HOT" and "SEXY." You do it because you like it. If you want to do security because you see yourself doing it, then by all means, do it. But if you're only doing it because you think it will land you beaucoup… -
Re: Lost and Directionless...
I don't see ANY reason to take the Network+. Here is what I would suggest since you are interested networking and security. Do the CCNA either by doing the CCENT + ICND2 or direct CCNA. I think the Network+ is a complete waste. The CCENT and CCNA are really not THAT hard. Yes you may give up six months of your life, but… -
Re: and so I begin...
Good luck on your studies, I just recently picked up Amazon.com: CompTIA Network+ Study Guide: Exam N10-004 (9780470427477): Todd Lammle: Books: Reviews, Prices & more It is offered as a class at my college too, but I felt like 16 weeks for this would be overkill (I already know most of the exam objectives pretty well,… -
Re: SOC what do I need to learn?
I don't think managed security services is market I can foresee myself sticking around for as you're constantly stuck in a position unless you quit to move on. Today we were told that they don't advance anyone until after 18 to 26 months. I came from a desktop/datacenter/ analyst roll where I was constantly groomed for… -
Re: in desperate need for advice
It probably wouldn't be bad to obtain either CompTIA certs as well (A+, Net+, Security+). Yes, you should upgrade in my opinion, since your credential is very aged. You could also try and get MCSA for Win7? I also agree that you should actually find out what you want to do long term and move towards that, find out what the… -
Re: Cisco Network Academy: About?
Thats kind of the vibe I get from it, for it reminds me normal school books rather than a self study cert book. Its rather funny, but I spent pretty much all this past summer reading certification books while racking up on my CompTIA certs. Now during my last semester in school when I read a standard text books for my… -
Re: Trying to get back into IT...
First off, welcome to TE! The A+, at least around these parts, would get you into either a PC technician (break/fix role) or a tier I desktop support job. After the A+, you may want to try for the CompTIA triad to round out your skills and knowledge base (Net+ and Sec+). These exams will no longer have a lifetime shelf… -
Re: MCITP question
Comment by Claymoore · · Home› Certification Preparation› Microsoft› MCTS / MCITP on Windows 2008 GeneralUmm, what? There is no requirement for Exchange, SQL or ISA in the MCSE 2003 track. You can choose almost anything as an elective - even CompTIA exams - and if you chose Vista or Windows 7 you would only learn 'windows networking systems'. By no means does an MCSE know more about Windows than an MCITP EA. The MCITP was… -
Re: Question about job/career after college
If you have time while at the internship study for the 70-640 to get MCTS. Get the material in ebook form if you need to and study it during down time. Setup a free vmware server at home and use microsoft dreamspark to obtain a full legal version of win2k8-R2 and use it to lab along with the study material. The tests are… -
Re: Processors
I don't think you can ever have too much information. The CompTIA objectives are basically a guide to the areas you should be familar with for an exam. In your studies, Webmaster can comment on the age of the notes, but they are fairly current. He's recently added a new section, so the material is looked at updated as time…
