Why didn't you mention cloud certifications with me when i brought up getting the a+ ?
Aren't you just starting out with zero work experience? That other dude is starting out already having worked in sales.
Learn basics of what exactly? I doubt anyone working in cloud has to know anything about fixing a computer.
I know programmers who can barely fix their own PC. They know how to code and that's about it.
Ok, i see what you mean.

Good look. I'll probably still finish just to lay a good foundation then move on the Network+ or this next. Thoughts?
I'm not sure what all they teach on the A+ anymore. But the Network+ is definitely more valuable when it comes to cloud.
Guys I just put in my two weeks for my minimum wage technician job and going full time on studying for my AWS cert. I already been studying for this cert for months and did not take the exam yet cause I want to make sure I know everything 100%. Out of all the IT fields, I actually have a keen interest in the cloud and the AWS infrastructure. So many things you can do and everyday I discover more

I would recommend not quitting yet and just sacrificing your free time to study. Especially if your company uses AWS currently. You could easily gain experience using it and then transition to a full on cloud engineer role either with them or somewhere else.Guys I just put in my two weeks for my minimum wage technician job and going full time on studying for my AWS cert.

I wouldn’t recommended quitting right now
Certs are good but experience is key and the more time you have under your belt working the better
Keep working, get the certs, do projects based on the certs and then try to move on
I’m telling you this as someone that has my AWS cert already. These jobs posts and HR people are the real people you need to push through

Yes
Jobs want a way to see if you have some sort of knowledge
if say you did and internship, worked as IT support in your college campus or something in that nature then it’ll showcase that you did something
But it also depends on where you are from and how fierce the competition is
I live in NYC and had my A+,Net+ and 4 months free internship before getting my first job

I personally think it is a big waste of time. It would be best to get the network+, linux plus+ and security plus, this is what the company I work for would look for. Personally from a competitive standpoint, I would aim higher. When I wanted to get in security, I went for the cissp, although I had zero experience. The recruiter and my manager were impressed that although I had zero experience, I was able to pass the exam.
It is a competitive job market out there. It's always best to aim really high. You will learn the basics along the way.
Yes. Maybe Calc II and III too, depending on the major.You have to take calculus to get your degree in IT?
