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… -
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: Degree/Career Advice
Just my opinion, I don't agree with the CompTIA exams as they can be pretty useless. They do have their purpose for those who are just getting into the field, but they aren't looked at as nicely as something like the CCNA. To get into a network security position, you have to know networks very well. You can't learn how to… -
Re: Question for IT managers
I'll help you earn an MCSA for half of that! I'm not fond of colleges that simply help you get certs. You basically spend a ton of money on something that will be obsolete in a few years. If you're going to do college, get a reputable degree, even if it isn't in IT. You'll develop many other skills along the way, and it… -
Re: ADvise on CCNA
Experience would be helpful -- but isn't required. You can make up for lack of experience by being that much more motivated and dedicated and studying that much harder..... Or if you have no Information Technology experience at all, then the CompTIA Network+ Certification may be a better place to start your studies. There… -
Re: Anyone use Transcender?
Ucertify does have a good rep. I'm gonna try it for the MS 70-642 exam and see how I like it. I'll also have access to MeasureUP, but that I have to take for my WGU mentor to give me a voucher. I do like MeasureUp as a good secondary exam prep tool, but I wouldn't solely use it, personally. MeasureUp for the Security+ exam… -
Re: Am I too old??
OP, if this is something you enjoy and you want to succeed doing it, then don't let anyone talk you out of it or discourage you. Most of the people on this forum are going to be encouraging. Don't let the people who aren't encouraging bring you down. Look, I've been in the IT field for 5 years and I've been making 6-figure… -
Re: Need advice for a career change
wholesalestunna, I was in your shoes not too long ago with wanting to change careers. Here is the path I took: A+ Net+ CCNA+ I didn't get my first IT job until all of these were complete. I started off as a contacted NOC Engineer, which made me a little over 40k a year. So it is possible to meet your salary requirement,… -
Re: A+ Home Study for 13 year old
Like father, like son.. eh? A+ expires after 3 years so I'd really wonder about the usefulness of giving CompTIA your hard earned cash if there is no immediate return on investment. I think Mike Meyer's book is the best one that's out there - don't forget to go over the exam objectives if you are going to go ahead with the… -
Re: Apprehensive of the Network +, Advice?
First let me debunk the myth, this test is NOT that difficult. It’s the entry level of entry level networking certifications. I know, I self-studied and took the exam a few months ago. Took me right around 3 weeks of full time study. Now, I learned a lot…but I also didn’t have a ton of experience in networking either.…
