6 Figures 6 Certs Random Thoughts Thread

[Everything Zen]

I hate Linux so much lol. I think it's probably because I haven't taken the time to really learn it. My girl bought a computer that had a Linux OS on it, I almost threw that shyt in the garbage. Linux is interesting though. I had her put Ubuntu on my old computer. I quit after a few days. Now I see I need to learn command lines. shyt would run a lot smoother lol. I just wanted it for those little hacking tools.

right now, the holy trinity is linux, networking and the python programming language. becoming competent at those three things is what will allow you to smoothly move into cloud and devops, which is where the big bag is rn.

moving forward linux is going to be more and more important to know how to use. all of world's fastest and most important machines use the linux kernel as a backbone. IoT devices like alexa use it. ever see those fancy smart fridges and toasters with lil lcd screens on em?
dem shyts are running Linux
its literally everywhere breh lol

id grab an iso of CentOS 8, spin it up on virtual machine and play around with it. the free ndg linux essentials course on cisco's netacad is also a great start. it's one of those things that once you become proficient at, you'll probably grow to prefer... the only reason i still have windows on my home system is because im a pc gamer tbh.

so it looks like officially ill be working remotely for the rest of the calendar year. i cant lie...ive saved mad money doing this but cant go on a getaway somewhere and all my trips went up in smoke ..but im working at least...cant complain

i think we may go full time remote, our office lease is up at the end of the year. We def wont be going back before then

I'm only on A+ level. Your post is disheartening but encouraging. I'm starting from the basement with this shyt.

Just wanted to learn how to hack then went down a rabbit hole. I see networking might not be for me.

I know yall established but help us newcomers. A+ seems like it's gonna be common sense and ports.

I'm a career changer. Pushing boxes to "IT". Dumb some shyt down, please.

thats what they are talking about for me...if they decided to lessen the office space...i gotta get a covid test done and do all this training just so i can schedule an appointment to go into the office and clean out my desk and shyt...annoying..on the other hand ive taken steps to make my home workspace more comfortable...my lady bought me a nice ass chair for my desk..she hated my old one so much plus i was procrastinating so much on getting one so she got it for me

I guess I’ll get on up, hit the elliptical, shower then get my day started. Monday’s are a lot easier working from home

Meyers book is tiring me. Do I really need to know how many pins? Or is it more scenario based? Thinking about setting a date to light a fire under my ass. Wanna knock out Core 1 and Core 2 before my financial aid status is good in January. What is the test really about?

Lmao!!! Make sure you memorize those features!

Smfh. I should have done this 10 years ago. Messer videos help but it's not in depth. Meyers overshares.

It's best to know it all though. Troy big doesn't seem like it will be enough. I haven't started taking notes yet. I'll be 34 in a few days. That shyt makes me wait to quit

Networking and cables

RJ-45 though

Bruh, im not one to talk to superiors about others not doing their work but these lazy fukkers have put me a week behind on some simple shyt.

MF at the crib cozy in they drawls watching Netflix instead of handling business

most definitely didn't mean to dishearten. my bad, breh.

i don't know you, but im going to take a shot in the dark and assume that you're a reasonably intelligent cat. with that being said... you're spinning your wheels with the A+. there are guys in the field responsible for millions of dollars worth of infrastructure, making 6 figures and couldn't install a hard drive in a desktop pc if their lives depended on it.

take it from me, ive been doing a+tier work for 5 years and never actually got the cert. the jobs that it will set you up for are essentially the "burger-flippers" of IT. hardware is dead, breh. i say this with confidence because as a repair tech, i had a front row seat to its demise lol. i don't personally believe it's necessary to read meyer's book cover to cover, nor do i think the cert is worth the $400 you'd have to pay to take both halves of the exam. just spend a good six weeks or so solidifying your high level overview of hardware, ditch the shyt that doesn't matter and move on to something that'll actually propel your career like cybersec or networking or something.
