Will save this for later, I.T irritating the fukk out me these days, It's hard for a brother to specialize in a section these days,

they want mafukkaz doing DBA,Desktop Support, server Admin, Printer tech , software support all in one title :francis:


Thanks man

Right, this is why I will tell someone not to rush in tech unless they love it. Companies are sponsoring these free courses for a reason. They need an influx of cheaper IT workers/programmers, so they'll take the hit on giving information out for free if they can demand all of these outrageous amounts of skills for increasingly lower wages.

You can make a lot of money in the field, but you better be dedicated to go super hard.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is the future of computer science


I think Machine Learning is a more Software/Programming leaning topic not IT/Networking.
Honestly I think i'm going to check this out regardless because it could be important in the future and it doesn't hurt since its for a subscription for coursera

I finished the second course last week. Moms has to have surgery so I had to take a week off to help her recover. I'm back on course 3 Monday tho. ✊
thats good dude, I'm gonna try and finish the course and get the cert before april ends so I don't have to get charged for the May Monthly subscription price.

How do you pick a side to go into? Do y'all just apply for IT positions at Eaton or other large companies or go into tech firms? If I want to do consulting

When I win I bring we with me
last day to register for the new certification program GOOGLE launched, called Coursera.

can do a 7 day trial. one of the courses begins Today.
can start at any level, beginner with no background, to System Admin work ,SCCM, etc. I believe its only $49 a month.

Google IT Support Professional Certificate | Coursera
Through a dynamic mix of video lectures, quizzes, and hand-on labs and widgets, this program will introduce you to troubleshooting and customer service, networking, operating systems, system administration, automation, and security.

Man I have one "quick lab" left to do and i'm done with the whole cert :whew:
.....but the damn thing ain't working(doesn't Talley your score once you've finished) and I'm locked out from too many attempts :sadbron:






Hopefully I'l be done with the entire cert by the end of the day :francis::lupe: Thanks again for the tip bruh bruh :salute:

I finished the cert for this in October but due to family stuff I'm just now getting the time to start applying and interviewing for jobs. Any brehs have tips for applying( what job search services or best companies to start applying to) and interviews(What to wear, What to bring and What parts I should try to refresh my brain on)? Every job I've ever had somebody looked out and I just basically had to pass a drug test. Ya boy is startin fresh and I'm excited. Thanks to OP for puttin a breh on to this, I really enjoyed it.

While you're doing the lab on each step make sure u click it (the lil box at the top right that has all the points u need to get.) It'll check that u did it and refresh to reflect the completion. Also screenshot and hit the forums. Try to let the admin know it's not counting your progress. The last course for me was "Defense against digital dark arts" and the last thing I had to do was a peer graded assignment that I had to write out stuff. Either you're not on the last part or they changed it up. Anyways well wishes to u breh
