Re: Supervisor said "no" to my career advancement with the company
I'm continually puzzled why folks insist that they must be 'promoted'. Promoted to what? There must be a place or reason or some huge savings the employee is providing to provide for a pay increase, which after all, is what the individual is going after. Additionally, if one is 'promoted' out of current responsibilities,… -
Failed LXO-103 again today!!!

Several interviews coming up, need some career advice.
So right now I'm doing desktop support and have been for almost 2 years with the same company. This is my first real IT job (had something part time for a couple months beforehand). It's a small organization of about 50 employees and 5 branches. My goal is to become a network engineer some day, but it's become obvious that… -
Re: Failed First Attempt
Definitely give the COMEBACK2009 code a try when you register next -- then you can call this one a practice test. :D The 2 books recommended the most are Odom's Cisco Press CCNA Certification Library (both the ICND1 and ICND2 books) and Todd's Sybex 6th edition CCNA Book -- the links are in the CCNA FAQ. The Odom book is… -
Re: Career advice needed
When you did IT auditing (SAP R/3), I'm just curious who you did it for? Were you an internal or external? OK - my two cents. Sounds like you have an excellent background but I'm not sure I would recomend you pull the plug on your IT Auditing. You couldn't "develop passion for it". Hmmm. Yes, I kind of know what you're… -
Re: Educational Options
Thanks for the response. In late July I begin terminal leave, and anything that involves using government networks or CAC authentication does not appeal to me after that point unless it's as a government employee or contractor.

Re: Pay and health benefits???
Many times if you don't take benefits such as vacation, medical etc you can get a higher rate. At my last job not taking medical got me like 20 dollars a month back or something ridiculous but it was a very large company so they were able to get health care at a pretty reduced rate. Smaller contracting firms can give you… -
Re: Anyone using the Post 9/11 GI Bill to attend WGU?
From WGU (Indiana) FAQ. http://indiana.wgu.edu/tuition_financial_aid/veterans Will I qualify for full-time or ¾-time VA benefits? The GI Bill is very generous for WGU students.

Re: Rough Spot.
I was actually in a similar situation not too long ago. Difference being my parents didn't lose their job, and while I was capped working at the school at 10-20 hours a week (it dropped from 20 to 10 starting in 2010, and I was only paid $9) I also had a 35-40 hour a week job working in retail, and a full time student…
