If you haven't already, invest in a Kindle or iPad......read but don't read too much. I think early on in my career( still do it somewhat today ) is I did too much reading but not enough "doing". Now a days I try not to read up on tech unless I plan on using it in some type of way. Better to be frustrated trying to figure something out, then to read a book and memorize something..
lol@the snitch feature.

Yea i'm in the same situation as well. Prior to me having kids I was going after every cert that would benefit in my career. Now I go for about 1 cert per year. Last year it was F5-CTS (BIG-IP LTM)
This year is VCP 5. If I decide to squeeze in more time I may do another one.

You trying to get in security, or you just taking the exam because it's being offered?

My boss
My boss taught this course to his department.
He had a course for us that work on and within the network and database/systems analysts, helpdesk, etc. geared towards taking the exam, and a second less technical course to the admin side of his department.
Im doing some of everything except for working on the infrastructure.
They pay for the cert too
On another, it takes a nation of millions to hold us back steez, come to this meeting our group is having tonight 8 pm est. Its a black initiative breh.
Go to the group "A dollar and a dream" and at least listen to what we have planned.
Build with us breh!!!
Edit: This goes for anybody who wants to build with us. If you want to teach, learn, work, hone your professional skills, volunteer, check out the group first then decide.

it was just a question breh, not trying to join any organizations, but good luck with your endeavors.I was asking cause I'm in security so was just wondering if that was actually something you wanted to pursue.

Yeah, I guess I got a little carried away.
But to answer your question, yes Im interested in Security.
I'm still trying to get my foundation solid before I specialize. Im definitely leaning toward security though.
tagged, im 30 now and 
when it comes to my certs and IT skills. However I have 6 years of helpdesk/ tier 2 tech experience. I'm slacking and need to step my game up.
Only cert I have is 681
Not to sure where to go from there...

So ive been doing some reading up on what I could do with certs. But how important is a degree in the it field vs just having certs? Im in school right now for econ but was thinking of doing copping certs on the side. Would I just be wasting my time if my degree isn't in a tech field?
Not really, if you ever wanted to get into a managerial role you'd pretty much need your bachelors.
