Any one have a comptia a+ cert? im new to this stuff how do I start in earning certifications in general?
When you nikkas were at the help desk was there a lot of stuff that came up that really tested your computer knowledge or was it mostly just basic shyt that people would fukk up at?
Anyone work at a cable company?
DID IT FOR A YEAR. IT'S A FUN JOB DEPENDING ON WHAT SYSTEM YOU GET STUCK IN. URBAN AREAS ARE THE WORST BUT THE MOST ENTERTAINING. WORKING RICH AREAS IS BETTER BECAUSE OF THE HOUSEWIFES PRETTY MUCH. THE TRADE IS EVERYBODY IS GENERALLY a$$holeS. THE WORK ITSELF ISN'T BAD BUT IF YOU AREN'T USED TO WORKING IN HEAT OR COLD YOU MIGHT QUIT. RUNNING DROPS THROUGH AN ATTIC IN 90 DEGREE WEATHER IS NOT FUN. THAT'S ANOTHER REASON WHY WORKING IN NEW SUBURBS IS COOL. YOU DON'T HAVE TO PULL THE LADDER OUT. ALL THE NEW CABLING IS UNDERGROUND.
I GOT SOME FUNNY ASS STORIES ABOUT DOING CABLE HSD FOR COMCAST.
haha damn I dig..still rocking the Capital Letters
I actually start Monday at Comcast as a Tier 2 Customer Account Exec and Tech/Ip Support, I'm sure its not really going be much technical stuff but Its better pay than what I was doing before
fukk a COMPTIA. That some entry level shyt that really isn't valued like you think it is.
Start with an MCP and also learn Networking from either Cisco or Juniper or maybe even F5 networks.
Get balanced in infrastructure and go from there.
that's the point tho nikkas do it just to their foots in the door
this nikka wants cats who know nothing about IT to go out and just apply for senior architect positions
The A+ could be a good confidence builder for those who are new or trying to get back into IT. A lot of entry level help desk/technician jobs list it, so it can serve a purpose. The Network+ is worthless from an employment standpoint (better off with CCENT/CCNA) and the Security + is marginal. The A+ helped get me back on track after a long unemployment.
every job I've looked at requires A+
