Re: Requesting Certifications Advice
Before you jump ahead of yourself with the IT mgmt stuff, start thinking about what you like first. Develop a core background in IT, whether it be as a network admin, sys admin, or something else. Do you like the networking side, or maybe want to start within Windows administration? Looks like your degree path wasn't… -
Re: State of IT - Biggest problem is the lack of skilled workers
I never lost an opportunity to a H-1B . In fact most jobs I see say they won’t sponsor the visa. Here are the problems I see in IT: 1)A student gets a Cyber Security degree, and they think they can instantly work in info sec. 2)Colleges not having any direct paths or guidance for students. For example, how can someone with… -
Re: Finding locations for exam testing
I always use the PearsonVue website. You have to sign up for an account if you don't have one already. You need to select the CompTIA testing program and the sign up. Once you are logged into the site, select the Security+ exam. From there you just follow the on screen instructions until you get to a screen where you can… -
Re: Starting New
First, welcome! Second, there is no 'fast pace' learning system. One either picks up new information quickly (and can apply it) or they simply need more practice. Download the objectives from CompTIA and go through those (item by item, it will take a bit) and identify areas you easily know, points you have heard of, and… -

Re: Is it too late to start a career in IT at 28?
Welcome to the forums!! You are never too old to pursue what makes you happy!! I would definitely look at some entry level certs such as the CompTIA path to get you started before you venture off into the more advanced level (CCNP/MCSE) etc.. You already have degrees so I would put more focus and emphasis on the IT… -
Re: AWS Certification Progress Thread
Comment by wahrheit · · Home› Certification Preparation› Cloud Certifications› Amazon Web Services (AWS)I took the exam, and passed, before Christmas 2015. It's not an 'easy' exam per say, but if you have been setting up applications in the AWS environment (namely IaaS wih Spot instances and autoscaling) you can pass. I was surprised, most vendors have 'gotcha' style questions (even Comptia to an extent), AWS does no such… -
Re: PASSED - Configuring Windows 8.1
@XxNooniexX Great, thank you! The wealth of information is incredible, you would make a good teacher, perhaps someday in IT. Yes, Professor Messer is wonderful especially as a visual reference to the CompTIA books. For now I think I will stick to passing the Security+, I have already purchased Darril Gibsons book, which… -
Re: Pursuing a Networking Career?

My IT experience prior to that was 2+ years of building/delivering/installing pc's and 2 -3 months of pc refreshment (back up data, take away old pc, set up new pc, move data/programs to new machine).
